OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – There is no fault by the striking vehicle in a fatal traffic crash which killed two Oshkosh girls, Winnebago County Sheriff John Matz said.

Mesa Fredenhagen, 11, and Kennedi Harris, 7, were killed in the June 11 crash at Bonnie View Road near Highway 44. A vehicle struck the ATV the girls were on.

At last week’s meeting of the County Board’s Judiciary & Public Safety Committee, Matz said crash reconstruction is being done but “there is not a fault in this particular case as far as the striking vehicle is concerned.”

The driver of the car immediately called 911 and gave first aid. A passenger in the car also gave first aid.
