Driver charged for deadly crash into Milwaukee County bus
MILWAUKEE — A 29-year-old Milwaukee man is now charged for a deadly crash into a county bus.
Prosecutors said Danny Romero was speeding on April 20 before slamming into the side of a bus at 35th and Wisconsin.
His passenger, Michael Captain, 31 was killed. Another passenger in the SUV was critically hurt.
7 people on the bus were also treated for injuries.
Investigators said the car was stolen, and Romero never had a valid driver’s license.
The crash at 35th and Wisconsin came just under 48 hours after another Milwaukee Police said another car traveling more than 100 miles per hour on Capitol Drive hit a Milwaukee County Transit bus at North 35th Street. The driver of the car was killed.
Jaime Walls, Michael’s aunt, says he was a father who enjoyed making people laugh.
“He had a heart of gold, and he really would give his shirt off of his back for you. I know a lot of people say that, but it was true,” Walls said.
Romero is scheduled to appear in court on May 7 for a preliminary hearing, according to court records. His bond has been set at $100,000.
