UWM Student Crushed by Semi

By Dan O'Donnell

A UWM student is in critical condition after she was crushed by a semitrailer truck while washing cars at a sorority fundraiser.

The Coca-Cola truck had just finished a delivery at a Sentry Foods store S. 76th St. in Franklin. The driver made a narrow turn to leave around the group girls, and Lauren Molitor, 22, was pinned between the semi and an SUV she was washing.

"She was pinned for a short time. They did move the truck a few feet in order to release her from being pinned," said Franklin Police Chief Oliva.  Officers consider the incident an unfortunate accident.

Froedtert Hospital listed Molitor in critical condition with major internal injuries.  She is a senior at UWM in the School of Education.
