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.
