MILES AWAY FROM HOME. IN MEXICO. THEYRE TAKING CARE OF THE POLICE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE SAME INCIDENT. TONIGHT, A WITNESS TELLS 12 NEWS A CAR CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF A MILWAUKEE POLICE CRUISER TONIGHT. THAT WITNESS SAYS IT HAPPENED DURING A TRAFFIC STOP. THE SCENE UNFOLDING NEAR 89TH AND HAMPTON ON THE CITYS NORTH SIDE. THATS WHERE WE FIND 12 NEWS. ERICA FINK LIVE THERE FOR US TONIGHT. ERICA, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE RIGHT NOW? RIGHT. SO WE JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THAT ONE CRASH MAY BE ONE OF TWO IN THE SAME BLOCK TONIGHT, BUT WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THERES QUITE A BIT OF CRASH DEBRIS. BLAKE AND KRISTEN, YOU CAN SEE THAT ITS JUST LETTING THE GROUND OUT HERE. BUT MILWAUKEE FIRE OFFICIALS CONFIRM THEY RESPONDED HERE JUST AFTER 7:00 TONIGHT FOR A RED CAR THAT CRASHED INTO THIS TREE RIGHT HERE. BUT WE WANT TO HAVE YOU SHOW YOU SOME OF THIS VIDEO. YOU CAN SEE THAT RED CAR WITH HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE. WITNESSES TELL US THEY SAW. THEY SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM THAT VEHICLE LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY. A BLACK, UNMARKED SQUAD CAR WITH DAMAGE TO ITS BACK PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR WITH POLICE LIGHTS ON THE BACK. A WITNESS SAYS HE SAW THAT OFFICER CONDUCTING A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN HE HEARD ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASH INTO THE BACK OF THE CRUISER TO BANG. IT WAS JUST A SCARED BANG, THE TIRE SCREECHING AND THEN A LOUD BANG WHEN I LOOKED. LIKE I SAID, WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE, ALL YOU ALL YOU SEEING WAS THAT WAS THAT POLICE CAR. AND THEN THE OTHER CAR BACKING UP AND THEN TURNING DOWN RIGHT HERE. AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES THEY HAD THE WHOLE ENTIRE STREET BLOCKED OFF. SO, ERICA, DO WE KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY ARRESTS OR INJURIES IN THESE CRASHES? SO WEVE REACHED OUT TO MILWAUKEE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND SO FAR WE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ON IF THERE ARE ANY INJURIES FROM ANYBODY THAT WAS IN THIS RED CAR THAT WAS RIGHT HERE OR THAT POLICE UNMARKED SQUAD CAR, OR IF EVEN THESE CRASHES POTENTIALLY ARE RELATED. ALL RIGHT. BUSY NIGHT THERE ON THE NORTH
