MILWAUKEE, WI — Three people who died early Friday after a hit-and-run collision in Milwaukee’s Havenwoods area have been identified, according to TMJ4.
The fatal collision unfolded at West Florist Avenue and North Sherman Boulevard, just after 2:00 a.m.
Milwaukee Police said 23-year-old Everton Stewart was intoxicated and driving westbound at a high rate of speed on West Florist Avenue when he ran a red light. Moments later, his Toyota struck a white Nissan that was heading southbound on North Sherman Boulevard, causing the Nissan to slam into a tree with great force.

The Nissan’s two passengers, 31-year-old Lashonda Jackson and 28-year-old Bobbie Latasha Nicole Dyson, also died as a result of their injuries.
