Racine Police Department 730 Center Street  Racine Wisconsin, 53403 PHONE NO. (262) 886-2300 FAX. NO. (262) 635-0190 Date: October 19, 2022 No: 22-26 Subject: Fatal Accident On Tuesday, October 18, 2022 at approximately 2020 hours, officers responded to the 1000 block of N. Memorial Dr. in reference to a child that had been hit by a vehicle. Upon their arrival officers saw several civilians rendering aid and assisted with that while waiting for the ambulance. Officers learned that a female child ran into the street from the west. North and southbound traffic stopped for the female and urged her to get out of the street. Once the female left the roadway southbound traffic started to resume. It was at this point that a five year old male ran into the roadway from the east. Northbound traffic saw the child and did not move. The vehicle that was headed south (that had stopped for the female) did not see the male and struck him. The male was transported to Ascension Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased. Racine Police traffic investigators are interested in any additional information that anyone may have about this incident. Any witnesses, or citizens with information, are urged to call the Racine Police Department Traffic Investigations Unit at (262) 635-7816. Those who wish to remain anonymous may contact Crime Stoppers by phone at (262) 636-9330, or through the Crime Stoppers app by using the p3 app. All media inquiries regarding this incident should be directed to my attention at (262) 635-7868.
