The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a car crash that happened on Labor Day, Monday, September 2, 2024, just before noon.
Police said a driver crashed into a building on N. Farwell St. and E. Irving Place, on Milwaukee’s East Side. That building was home to The Lafayette Place Cafe, which is now closed.
One of the owners of the cafe said there’s not enough signage in the area — the business is on the corner of a one-way street and a two-way street. There are also concerns about speeding in the area. The owner said crashes happen often.
