RACINE — A Racine man was seriously injured Saturday, Aug. 5, after the car he was driving crashed into Racine’s City Hall.
According to a story from FOX 6 News, officers were walking near 10th and Villa when they observed a car run a stop sign. They got in their squad and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver sped away and officers lost sight of it.
Photos obtained from Brian Bruce on Facebook show the vehicle crashed into Racine’s City Hall. The driver had to be removed with the Jaws of Life and was taken by Flight for Life to Froedtert Hospital for treatment of his injuries.
