MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee County Board Second Vice Chairwoman and 13th District Supervisor made the following statement, extending her heartfelt condolences to the family of 76-year-old Bobbie Wade, who tragically lost her life early Thursday morning after being struck by a vehicle while assisting at the scene of a crash on I-43 near North Avenue:
“This tragedy is a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by those who act selflessly in moments of crisis. Ms. Wade stepped forward to help others in a time of need, embodying the compassion and courage we all hope to see in our community. Her loss is heartbreaking and should never have happened. I extend my deepest thoughts, prayers, and condolences to her family, friends, and all who are mourning her today.

I urge all drivers to remain alert, responsible, and vigilant behind the wheel—for your safety and the safety of every person on our roads.”
