Wisconsin Woman Charged with Homicide in Crash Killing Two Marquette Lacrosse Players

Amandria Brunner, a 41-year-old woman from West Allis, Wisconsin, has been charged with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle following a crash that killed two Marquette University lacrosse players, Scott Michaud and Noah Snyder. The collision occurred when Brunner attempted a left turn at an intersection, colliding with a Jeep carrying six lacrosse players; Michaud and Snyder, both sophomores recognized for their academic achievements, died at the scene. Brunner's blood alcohol content was measured at 0.133, well above the legal limit, and an open beer can was found in her truck; additionally, a crash recorder showed she accelerated into the intersection without braking. The Jeep was traveling at 53 mph in a 30 mph zone, and four other players were injured in the accident. Brunner has a prior conviction for operating while intoxicated in 2003, and faces up to 80 years in prison if convicted on both counts of homicide. She remains in custody as the investigation continues, and her initial court appearance has been scheduled.
