BREAKING: 1 Woman, 3 Girl Scouts Killed after Being Struck by Vehicle

The following was a statement provided by the Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes:

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of a tragic loss in our Girl Scout sisterhood. On Saturday, 3 Girl Scouts and 1 adult volunteer were killed while participating in a highway clean-up service project. Another Girl Scout remains in critical condition. Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes asks that you please keep the Nokomis Service Area volunteers and families in your thoughts and prayers as they grapple with this senseless loss. We will share information on how to support the families impacted and memorial service info as we learn more.

3 Girl Scouts, 1 adult killed in Wisconsin hit-and-run crash

They were all wearing bright safety vests. The driver who hit and killed them left the scene of the accident but later turned himself in.

BBM.

Is he related to that woman who caused tragedy at the school bus stop???

Whether you're part of the Girl Scout sisterhood (and I am) or not, this is horrible.

Condolences to all the families involved.

So sad, these girls were all elementary school students. So young and innocent. The adult was a mom of one of the girls. No discussion of the driver of the car or any information about the criminal investigation.

Wisconsin town mourns 3 Girl Scouts, 1 adult killed in crash

Lake Hallie police Sgt. Daniel Sokup said the pickup, a black Ford F-150, crossed a lane and veered into a roadside ditch, striking the victims. Other members of the troop were picking up trash from the opposite shoulder.

The 21-year-old driver, Colten Treu of Chippewa Falls, sped off but later surrendered and will be charged with four counts of homicide, Sokup said. It was unclear Sunday if Treu had an attorney who could speak for him. Police misspelled Treu’s first name as “Colton” in initial news releases.

Sokup said it was not immediately known if there were other factors that might have led the driver to leave the road. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the crash happened before a hill and there were no blind spots, and Sokup said it was “not an unsafe area.”

Colten Treu

Troubling. I hope this really was a tragic accident even though it won't change anything for the victims.

 

[The 13th]

"Several law enforcement vehicles were parked late Saturday at Treu’s home in Chippewa Falls, where investigators were combing through the house, garage and driveway. A tow truck was parked near the garage.

Residents of the area said on social media that they had seen police converge on the house a few hours after the crash, with Treu coming out to give himself up."

Heartbreaking to hear about this.

My hearts go out to the loved ones.

May they hold one another close during this unfathomable time.

This is so deeply saddening.
