A young boy has been identified as the child who was among those killed after a car plowed into a Christmas parade in Waukesha on Sunday.
Jackson Sparks, 8, and his 12-year-old brother were both hospitalized in intensive care after being "seriously injured" at the parade, according to a statement released Tuesday by a local church on behalf of their parents.
Jackson, described as a "sweet little boy," died from his injuries on Tuesday afternoon. His brother "is miraculously recovering from his injuries and will be being discharged home," according to the statement.
Jackson's death marks the sixth fatality from the incident.
