An unseasonably warm Sunday evening that brought out strollers and diners in the Village was interrupted by a jaw-dropping, heart-stopping crash that only by luck caused no injuries. Police interviewed more than a dozen witnesses who saw a drugged driver speeding and swerving down Wauwatosa Avenue, through the Village and across busy State Street before plowing into parked cars and a concrete wall.

Wauwatosa police arrested drunken drivers on each of four successive nights beginning Thursday, and none of the drivers was a Tosa resident. It was the first operating while intoxicated offense for each of them.
