Milwaukee, WI – Motorcycle Accident Results in Fatality near N 76th St

Milwaukee, WI (October 12, 2025) – A tragic motorcycle collision occurred Saturday afternoon near North 76th Street and West Glendale Avenue in Milwaukee, resulting in one death and one injury.

According to the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD), the crash happened around 12:33 p.m. Emergency responders reported that a 36-year-old motorcyclist collided with another vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another individual involved in the incident was transported to a local hospital with injuries. Their current condition has not been disclosed.

The Milwaukee Fire Department (MFD) confirmed the fatality and provided aid to the injured person. MPD officers are actively investigating the crash, examining factors such as speed, road conditions, lighting, and driver behavior. Authorities have not released further details regarding the other driver or the identities of those involved.

Officials remind drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians to exercise extreme caution in busy urban areas. Motorcycles are particularly vulnerable due to their limited protection, and even moderate collisions can result in life-threatening injuries. Pedestrians and other motorists are encouraged to stay alert, obey traffic laws, and maintain safe distances around motorcycles to prevent accidents.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased motorcyclist and hope for a full recovery for the injured individual. 

Motorcycle Accidents in Wisconsin

Motorcycle crashes in Milwaukee can result in catastrophic injuries due to the minimal protection riders have compared to cars. Even low-speed collisions may cause head trauma, broken bones, road rash, internal injuries, or paralysis. City streets and intersections are common locations for these accidents, especially where traffic is dense or visibility is limited.

Motorcyclists face many hazards, including blind spots, distracted drivers, sudden vehicle maneuvers, wet or uneven roads, and poor lighting. Accidents often occur when drivers fail to yield, change lanes without signaling, or operate vehicles while distracted or impaired. Victims and their families frequently endure not only serious physical injuries but also emotional and financial challenges. Costs for medical care, long-term rehabilitation, lost income, and property damage can be overwhelming.

In cases where another driver’s negligence caused the crash, victims may be entitled to pursue personal injury or wrongful death claims to recover damages. Compensation can include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney can help ensure evidence is collected, insurance claims are properly handled, and fair compensation is pursued.
