An EagleExpress van containing two Marquette University students was struck by a stolen vehicle around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
The Milwaukee Police Department was in pursuit of the vehicle on Wisconsin Avenue, university spokesperson Kevin Conway told the Marquette Wire.
Suspects operating the vehicle were “driving erratically” before striking the van near 17th Street. The two individuals in the car fled the vehicle on foot and were apprehended by Milwaukee Police.
The two students in the EagleExpress van — one who was driving — reported minor injuries and refused medical attention at the scene.
EagleExpress is Marquette’s on-campus free door-to-door rideshare service. Eight vans run from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. daily.
