The man charged in a hit-and-run crash that killed three Girl Scouts and a mother in Chippewa County is pleading not guilty. Twenty-one-year-old Colton Treu entered not guilty pleas this (Friday) afternoon to all 11 counts including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. Prosecutors says Treu had been huffing an aerosol can before he swerved off the road and hit the group of scouts picking up trash in a ditch near Lake Hallie last November. He failed to stop at the scene and later turned himself in. Treu’s attorney requested a change of venue claiming he can’t get a fair trial in Chippewa Falls.
