On Friday, authorities responded to a fatal car accident involving Wisconsin Senate Democratic Minority Leader, Janet Bewley. The accident killed a young mother and her 5-year-old daughter from Pennsylvania.
Janet Bewley was pulling out of a Lake Superior beach entrance before she ended up in the way of another vehicle. The vehicle was being driven by 27-year-old Alyssa Ortman. After the two vehicles collided, Ortman’s vehicle spun across Highway 2 and was struck by another car.
5-year-old Khaleesi was pronounced deceased at the scene. Ortman was transported to a nearby hospital where she later passed away.
