Family of girl severely injured in Water St. crash responds to driver only getting a citation

A mother from Milwaukee is speaking out after her daughter was seriously injured in a crash on Water Street, caused by a driver who was cited but not arrested despite the life-altering injuries inflicted on her child. The mother, Karen Handrich, expressed her concerns about the driver facing only a fine for the incident, which left her daughter Chloe hospitalized with severe injuries. The crash occurred at a crosswalk on Water Street and State Street following her college graduation celebration. Witnesses described the horrific scene of the collision, with Chloe and her friend Sammy being hit by the reckless driver who ignored barricades. Chloe, described as a caring individual with aspirations in the medical field, sustained life-threatening injuries from the impact. The driver received a ticket for failing to yield and driving without insurance or registration. The family and community are in disbelief at the minimal consequences faced by the driver, with calls for more serious charges to be brought against them. Chloe and Sammy will require extensive medical care and support.
