Motorcycle crash kills 1, slows traffic near 27th and Grange

A man was killed in a motorcycle crash Thursday morning, the second motorcycle fatality this week in Milwaukee County.

Greenfield police are investigating the crash, which occurred near S. 27th St. and W. Grange Ave., according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.

An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.

Earlier this week, a 30-year-old Milwaukee man died after he lost control of his motorcycle on Lincoln Memorial Drive and crashed into a light pole which severed his left leg, according to medical examiner's reports.

Jorge Estrada was driving at high rate of speed with two other motorcyclists about 2 a.m. Wednesday when he lost control, the reports say.

A helmet was found about 20 feet from where he landed. Two bystanders performed CPR until paramedics arrived and picked up life-saving efforts, but Estrada died at the scene.
