A Wisconsin woman is facing serious charges after allegedly engaging in a hit-and-run incident that left a Lyft driver in a coma, followed by filing a deceptive police report. She falsely claimed her vehicle was struck by a hit-and-run driver.

Jenni Fischer, 24, was taken into custody on December 10. She faces charges of hit-and-run causing great bodily harm and filing a fraudulent insurance claim, as reported by WITI.

The criminal complaint regarding the incident involving the Lyft driver states that Milwaukee Police were dispatched to the scene shortly after 8:30 p.m. on December 1. They found a 26-year-old man unconscious but breathing, suffering from severe head trauma. He was immediately hospitalized and underwent two surgeries. According to court documents dated December 10, he remains in a coma, with his condition deteriorating.

Authorities noted that the side door of the victim’s white Nissan Sentra was “mangled and crushed backwards,” consistent with a sideswipe collision. Debris from the suspect’s vehicle was discovered at the scene, alongside surveillance footage capturing a white or gray SUV, identified by its running light, striking the Lyft driver.

Through their investigation, police identified the suspect vehicle as a Jeep Compass. They reviewed insurance claims for such vehicles and uncovered a claim filed on December 3, two days following the crash. The vehicle identification number linked this Jeep Compass back to Fischer.

That claim required a police report, and police found one on a vehicle with the same VIN number filed the day after the crash. It had been filed via the Citizen Online Reporting portal, which is generally reserved for minor crimes, Law&Crime reported.

According to that complaint, Fischer wrote that she left work on December 1 and found her SUV damaged in the parking lot.  The report provided Fischer’s home address, and subsequently led to surveillance video showing her Jeep pulling into her building’s parking structure, with its running lights on, and park shortly after the real hit-and-run crash.

A woman in a green coat, later identified by her parents as Fischer, is seen “having difficulty” walking up a flight of stairs, bouncing between the walls and dropping her keys before catching an elevator in the lobby.

The following morning, Fischer goes back to her Jeep in the parking deck with no difficulties.

Police spoke with Fischer’s mother on December 6, and she told them the story about the hit-and-run in her daughter’s work parking lot. She also took police to a barn where Fischer’s SUV was parked — and where they saw damage consistent with the crash and white paint from the Lyft driver’s vehicle.

They showed Fischer’s mother the video of the crash, and she told them to cancel the insurance claim her daughter made since “it was not true.”

Fischer was arrested the next day at her parents’ home.

She made an initial court appearance on December 11 and was given a $20,000 cash bond. She’s due in court again on Wednesday.
