Green Bay woman arrested after high-speed chase goes through downtown Fond du Lac
A 19-year-old Green Bay woman was arrested after a high-speed chase that ended in a crash May 30 in downtown Fond du Lac, according to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect was taken to St. Agnes Hospital for injuries sustained in the crash. She faces possible charges of operating while intoxicated causing injury, first-degree reckless endangering safety, operating while revoked due to alcohol/controlled substance refusal, fleeing and eluding an officer, and three counts of felony bail jumping.
According to the sheriff's office:
At 6:37 p.m. May 30, a deputy saw the suspect's vehicle traveling over 50 mph in a 25-mph zone, northbound on South Main Street in Fond du Lac.
The vehicle increased its speed to over 80 mph.
The deputy ended the pursuit as the driver headed toward a busy downtown.
The driver continued at a high rate of speed through the downtown, driving in the southbound lane at times.
Near the intersection with Division Street, the driver struck a southbound vehicle. The driver continued northbound now on North Main Street, striking several other vehicles. The suspect's vehicle started on fire and stopped near the intersection of Merrill Avenue.
The first vehicle that was struck caught fire.
Deputies and Fond du Lac Police officers checked for injuries and provided aid "in an overall scene that spanned a city block." Three occupants of vehicles that were hit were treated and released.
The suspect, who faces charges in Brown County and was free on two signature bonds, also has prior charges pending in Ozaukee and Fond du Lac counties.
'This young suspect, who already has a lengthy criminal history, left a massive path of destruction in downtown Fond du Lac on a Friday evening," Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt said in a news release. "She terrorized dozens of our citizens and visitors who were downtown to enjoy the start to the weekend. We're thankful no one was killed, and wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured."
The Wisconsin State Patrol is investigating the crashes.
