APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – Outagamie County Sheriff’s say criminal charges will not be filed against a teenager in a crash which killed 16-year-old Emily Nickel.
Lt. Terry Hammen tells FOX 11 that two traffic citations were issued to 17-year-old Karissa Jochims for failure to keep the vehicle under control and operating a vehicle on a probationary license with unauthorized people in the vehicle.
The tickets, which were issued April 7, carry fines of $213.10 and $200.50 respectively.
According to online court records, neither citation has been paid. Jochims could choose to appear in court May 25.
State law limits drivers with a probationary license to one passenger. There were 4 people in the car.
On September 25, 2015, Jochims’ car rolled over on School Road in Greenville. Nickel died and three others suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Everyone was wearing a seat belt. Police say speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash.
