The first accident occurred Saturday morning on Milwaukee's north side near the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and Ring Street.

The driver of the southbound car and two individuals in the northbound car were transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Police believe alcohol was a factor in this car accident.

Another unrelated car accident on Saturday in Milwaukee left one Wisconsin woman fighting for her life. A three-car accident left a 21-year-old Oak Creek woman in serious condition after being airlifted to Milwaukee County hospital by Flight for Life. According to the Racine County Sheriff's Department, the woman was traveling eastbound on 7 Mile Road around 4:30 p.m. when she allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign. As a result, her vehicle struck a small SUV traveling southbound, which then hit another vehicle.

The 21-year-old was treated for a lacerated liver and a pelvic injury. The two other drivers were also taken to Froedtert and were treated from non-life threatening injuries. The names, ages and hometowns of the individuals involved in the crash were not released to the public.
