Media summary: Driver Halee Ludowise-Fischer and Jennifer Geren, both 15, allegedly sneaked out of their homes without their parents' knowledge and went for a joyride. They were driving in Ludowise-Fischer's mother's 2009 Mitsubishi when a River Hills police officer noticed a taillight on the vehicle was out. He activated his lights and tried to pull the car over, but the driver sped off, running through two traffic lights. The officer turned off his lights and stopped the chase, although he continued to follow. Shortly after, he saw sparks flying in the air when the girls' car struck a transformer. Ludowise-Fischer drove for another half-mile striking a stop sign, then a utility pole. The car rolled onto the passenger side, and the hood wrapped around a tree less than a mile from Nicolet High School. Both girls were killed.
