One man killed in a traffic crash Thursday, possibly someone who had been protesting earlier in the day

One person was killed in a traffic accident Thursday afternoon, possibly someone involved in protests earlier in the day.

A Honda Pilot with seven people inside was seen recklessly driving on Center St. Milwaukee police said. When officers tried to stop the vehicle, it sped off and struck a Mini Cooper with one person inside.

The victim was a 22-year-old man who was a passenger in the vehicle driving recklessly, police said. The accident happened around 4:45 p.m. near N. 6th St. and W. Locust St.

Police said posters inside the Honda Pilot led them to believe the passengers had participated in protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Two others were injured in the crash and taken to a local hospital.
