Wisconsin DOT Releases Fatal Accident Video of Driver Falling from Hoan Bridge

MILWAUKEE, WI — The community mourned the tragic loss of a man who fell 50 feet to his death Dec. 19 after blustery conditions on Milwaukee's Hoan Bridge caused multiple accidents. That man, 27-year-old Christopher John Weber of Milwaukee, was the sole occupant of his vehicle at the time of the crash.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has released traffic camera footage of Weber's fatal plunge. Ice on the I-794 over pass caused his vehicle to swerve erratically until his vehicle struck the retaining wall and careened over the edge.

A second version of the video, posted by FOX 6 Friday evening, shows the accident in closer detail.

Weber’s obituary was posted online this week. According to his obituary at the Monroe Funeral home in Delavan, Wis., Weber was born in Seoul South Korea and was 2008 graduate of Delavan-Darien High School.

He graduated in 2014 from UW-Milwaukee and was active with his High School football team and youth programs.

An employee of Odd Duck restaurant in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood, Weber was described as a "wonderful friend and a truly positive person."
