Madison, Wisconsin. – A Wisconsin driver involved in a traffic accident last week that killed two Lacrosse players from Marquette University was drunk at that time, the authorities alleged Wednesday by accusing her of vehicular homicide.
Amandria Brunner, 41, from West Allis, faces two homicide charges for an intoxicated use of a vehicle while having a prior sentence related to the poisoning. She faces up to 80 years in prison if she is convicted of both positions.
According to a criminal complaint, the accident occurred on Friday in Milwaukee when Brunner tried to turn left in front of a SUV that took six male lacrosse players from Marquette to a second -hand store. Scott Michaud, a 19 -year -old second year goalkeeper and Biomedical Sciences of Springboro, Ohio, and Noah Snyder, 20, a second -year student and Irving's business student at Irving, New York, were declared dead on the scene.
A witness told the Police that he helped Brunner out of his truck and noticed that Brunner smelled of alcohol and kept trying to get gum in his mouth. Police also found an open beer can in their truck, according to the criminal complaint.
Brunner's blood, which was drawn approximately two hours after the accident, had a blood alcohol content of 0.133, which exceeds the legal limit of the state to drive 0.08.
An analysis of the shock recorder in Brunner's truck discovered that they had stopped it for about three seconds before entering the intersection with the accelerator depressed almost to the floor, according to the complaint. He traveled just under 12 mph (19 kph) when he hit the SUV, and never stopped.
Brunner was convicted for operating while he was intoxicated in November 2003, says the complaint.
Online judicial records indicated that Brunner was in custody in the Milwaukee County prison on Wednesday. The records did not list a lawyer for her.
Michaud and Snyder were appointed for the Big East academic team last year to maintain at least 3.0 qualification averages. Snyder played in 13 of the 14 Marquette Games last season, making three openings in the center of the field and collecting nine goals and seven assists.
