Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, Jered J. Corn, 35, was charged with 4 felonies in connection with the December 12th fatal crash by the Leon's Custard signage at the 3100 block of S. 27th Street that claimed the life of his sister, Sierra Hill, 22.

Corn was charged for 2nd-degree reckless homicide, knowingly operating vehicle without a valid license causing death and two counts for 2nd-degree recklessly endangering safety. Cash bail was set at $10,000.

If convicted on all counts, Corn who for years has been wheelchair bound is facing 25 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines for 2nd-degree reckless homicide, facing 6 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines for driving without a license causing death, and is facing 10 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for each count for 2nd-degree recklessly endangering safety.

According to the criminal complaint, Corn, the driver and Hill, the passenger were in a Chevrolet Equinox, which was apparently speeding Southbound on S. 27th Street that ran a red stop light and struck a Chevrolet Cruze heading Eastbound on W. Oklahoma Ave.

The Chevrolet Equinox also struck a parked vehicle, hit the sidewalk curb and role over multiple times striking a light concrete post and landed sideways by the Leon's Custard signage at S. 27th St., according to a video surveillance footage at Leon's. Both Corn and Hill were extricated from the vehicle by first responders. Hill died at the scene, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
