Milwaukee County pedestrian fatalities reach 20-year high

More pedestrians have been hit and killed this year in Milwaukee County than in any other year in the past two decades. State crash data shows more than two dozen pedestrians have died in the county. 23 of whom lost their lives on the streets in the City of Milwaukee. "It's just so sad that he had to go this way,” said Mae Holmes. "My brother crossed the street all the time and never got hit, none of that." Holmes is preparing to host her first Thanksgiving without her brother William. He was crossing the street near his home at 49th and Hampton back in March when he was killed in a hit-and-run. Holmes says the hardest part is not knowing why it happened or who was behind the wheel eight months later.
