Angel Burgos, 29, of Milwaukee, was arrested for suspicion of driving and using prescritpion drugs. He admitted to police he was on medication for bipolar disorder and depression.

“Angel was confused and was upset because he believed he was not intoxicated at all and that he was on prescription medicines,” according to the report.

However, Officer Matt Vannucci explained the law regarding prescription medications and driving, which prohibits drivers from being under the influence of prescription drugs and medication.

Burgos, who was in the right lane of Northwestern Avenue, crashed the mini-van he was driving into a 2003 Toyota, which was driven by Donald Carlson. Carlson was driving his car northbound on Emmertsen Road.
