A multi-vehicle crash occurred near 80th Street and Kiehnau Avenue, right in front of Morse Middle School in Milwaukee on Monday morning. The crash involved a stolen Kia, a school bus, a silver Mercedes SUV, and a Milwaukee Public Schools pick-up.

Milwaukee police said a 15-year-old who was hanging out of the passenger window of the stolen Kia when it hit the school bus, is now in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police said an 11-year-old boy on the bus was also hurt and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Parents are outraged that reckless driving and dangerous behavior continue.

Milwaukee Fire Department says two patients were transported to local hospitals. One was transported to Children's Hospital, another to Froedtert.

Milwaukee Public Schools released a statement regarding Morse Middle School: "This morning, a reckless driving situation resulted in an incident outside of Morse Middle School during arrival. The incident resulted in injuries to an individual riding in the vehicle that was driving recklessly. Damage was caused to multiple parked vehicles, including a school bus. One individual who was exiting the bus at the time of the collision was also injured. Staff immediately worked to get everyone inside the building and contacted the police. MPS is taking proactive measures to keep our sites safe while reckless driving continues to be an issue in the community. This school year, MPS has placed hundreds of concrete bollards at our buildings and added other measures like fence posts, barricades, and cameras to our properties. We have also been actively working with representatives from the city and public safety partners to see how we can work together to identify areas that can be mitigated. While we are doing everything we can to enhance safety at our sites, we hope members of the community can understand the full impact of this issue. Reckless driving is dangerous, and we must work together to share this message with students. Adults can help by talking to children about safe driving and the consequences regarding dangerous behavior."
