West Allis Woman Charged Homicide in Crash Killing 2 Marquette Lacrosse Players

Amandria J. Brunner, 41, has been charged with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle following a crash near Marquette University that killed two lacrosse players, Scott Michaud, 19, and Noah Snyder, 20. Prosecutors allege Brunner was driving while intoxicated and on the phone when she turned left into the path of a Jeep Grand Cherokee carrying the students, who died at the scene from multiple blunt force injuries. Brunner's blood alcohol content was nearly double the legal limit, and she admitted to consuming two Steel Reserve beers before the crash. The crash also injured four other occupants of the Jeep, three of whom were lacrosse student-athletes. Brunner has a prior conviction for operating while intoxicated from 2003, and bail has been set at $150,000. Marquette University has made counseling and support services available to its students, faculty, and staff in response to the tragedy.
