Drunk Woman Speeds Through A Crosswalk, Running Over 2 Women, Nearly Killing Them

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — New surveillance video obtained by TMJ4's Jenna Rae is shedding light on a July crash that seriously injured two women on Water Street in Milwaukee.

Chloe Handrich and Samantha Zganjar were crossing Water Street when a woman drove through orange barricades and hit them. The driver was given traffic tickets, but has not been criminally charged.

Since the crash, the young women and their families have been asking questions about why the driver wasn't charged with a crime.

TMJ4 has obtained extended surveillance video from City of Milwaukee street cameras, video from nearby businesses, and dash and body camera footage from responding Milwaukee Police Officers.

The surveillance video shows Handrich and Zganjar crossing Water Street at State Street before being struck by a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee. The video shows the driver stopped after hitting the women, and bystanders and friends immediately surrounded the victims on the ground.

Before police arrived, the driver parked her car, got out and walked over to check on both women for a few seconds each. She then waited for the police to arrive.

"That's the car that's the one who hit everybody right there, just so you know," a witness told an officer in the body camera footage.

When officers asked what happened, the driver explained her version of events.

"The light was green, I was coming through, but I didn't see that it was barricaded, that's why I proceeded, and then I hit my brakes, but then I seen that they was walking across the street and I kinda clipped both of them," the driver said. "That's why I stopped and pulled over right here."

The driver told officers she was picking up friends from a club because they couldn't drive. She mentioned the green traffic light to several officers.
