Footage then shows both the driver and passenger exit the sedan almost simultaneously. While the driver manages to run away â and appears to attempt to cover his face with his hooded sweatshirt â the injured passenger rolls out of the car and lays on the ground.
The crash involved a âfresh stolen autoâ and occurred about 7 p.m. at the intersection of S. 14th Street and W. Halsey Avenue, Milwaukee police said in a statement.
