Fresh body cam footage reveals the heart-stopping close call an FBI agent faced after her SUV got wedged over the edge of Milwaukee’s I-794 overpass during Monday’s chaotic morning commute. The clip shows the wrecked car dangling like a daredevil stunt gone wrong, its passenger-side wheels hanging over nothing but air—thirty feet above solid ground.
First responders moved fast, no time for second-guessing. A sheriff’s deputy smashed the rear window, giving the trapped agent just enough space to wiggle free without turning a bad situation into a full-blown disaster. Meanwhile, crews scrambled to stabilize the teetering vehicle, mouths tight with tension, every shift in its balance ratcheting up the danger.
Blame? Some hotshot driver swerved into her lane after slamming the brakes to avoid traffic. Physics did the rest, shoving the SUV toward oblivion. Lucky for everyone, no one got hurt, though the reckless motorist still got slapped with a citation for reckless lane-changing.
Snow was the wildcard. Piled high on the retaining wall, it could’ve easily turned the overpass into a ski jump, but officials later squashed that theory. No evidence of winter’s mess making things worse, they claimed.
Traffic snarled for hours while crews juggled safety and logistics. The whole mess? Another brutal reminder that winter roads chew up predictable commutes and spit out nightmares—and that first responders don’t get the luxury of hesitation when the clock’s ticking.
