Police say the woman who crashed into a Wisconsin state senator last summer was driving 100 miles per hour.
The Wisconsin State Patrol yesterday said Alyssa Ortman was speeding down Highway 2 in Ashland last July when she smashed into Senator Janet Bewley’s car.
Ortman’s five-year-old daughter died in the crash, she died later at the hospital. Bewley wasn’t seriously hurt.
Troopers say the speed limit on that stretch of road is 45 miles per hour.
Ortman’s ex has filed a wrongful death lawsuit because of the crash.
