The victim, Zane Staubach was riding to work at 11:11 a.m. on June 16 when surveillance video captured a black SUV run a red light at the intersection of 2nd and National Avenue.

Staubach was in the bike lane, crossing the intersection, when the car launched him to the other side of the road. The driver fled the scene with Staubach’s bicycle still lodged in the front of the vehicle.

Charges have now been filed against Isiah Colon-Johnson for Hit and Run – Causing Great Bodily Harm and Knowingly Operate Motor Vehicle While Suspended – Causing Great Bodily Harm and Second Degree Reckless Injury.

According to the criminal complaint, a witness told investigators that he was on a FaceTime with Colon-Johnson discussing a construction quote. During the call, the defendent allegedly stated, “Oh s***, I think I just hit someone. I think I just hit something.”

The witness said he advised Colon-Johnson to pull over; however, the defendant claimed he couldn’t because he was smoking [what appeared to be a joint] and that the vehicle was not his.

If convicted on all charges, Colon-Johnson could face up to 31 years in prison.

Staubach said he hopes the coverage of the crash raises awareness about reckless driving.

“I greatly appreciate the concern and support my family and I received following the crash,” he told TMJ4. “Concern from news organizations and members of our community has helped us. Hopefully some good can come from raising awareness around unsafe driving. I think the issue is so important to so many people who live in the city.”

He’s not alone in raising awareness about reckless driving.

Joe Paterick has been biking on Milwaukee streets for over 30 years and has been in situations like Staubach.

“I’ve been in that situation where everything is going cool. You love the freedom of being on your bike and bang, now, probably his whole summer is ruined, you know, thank God he’s alive,” said Paterick.

He now bikes defensively around the city, always staying vigilant.

“I’m glad I don’t feel safe, because it makes me, you know, get on the lookout of crazy drivers, the reckless drivers,” said Paterick.

Paterick would like to see the Milwaukee Police Department step up and hand out more tickets for reckless driving and speeding.

“We are excited to bring the Iowa Wild to the State of Hockey during Hockey Day Minnesota 2026,” said Iowa Wild GM Matt Hendricks in a statement released by the team. “This once-in-a-lifetime event hosted by Hastings and United Heroes League will create lasting memories for our players and fans.” 

The outdoor game has become a staple in hockey leagues across North America following the breakout popularity of the NHL’s Winter Classic. AHL teams have played regular-season outdoor games dating back to 2010. The Hockey Day Minnesota game will be the 13th such outdoor game for the AHL.

Skating outdoors has been a staple of Minnesota hockey culture since the sport’s introduction to the State of Hockey. Hockey Day Minnesota has often served as a celebration of the honored past of the sport in the state in which the sport is most popular. In addition to the AHL outdoor game, many outdoor games will be played between high school and college teams as part of the festivities.

Details about broadcast plans for the Wild vs. Admirals game will be announced at a later date.
