Charges amended for woman of causing crash that killed 12-year-old



ST. LOUIS – Charges have been amended for the woman who is accused of causing a car crash in December that ultimately killed a 12-year-old.

Endrina Brancho is facing seven felony charges, including:

  • Involuntary manslaughter in the first degree
  • Two counts of assault in the second degree
  • Two counts of endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree, serious physical injury, no sexual conduct
  • Operating a vehicle on the highway without a valid license
  • Owning/operating a motor vehicle without maintaining financial responsibility

Brancho was allegedly driving in the wrong lane with her two kids inside the vehicle when she struck a Jeep, which held 12-year-old Travis Wolfe and his parents.

Travis and his parents were all transported to the hospital with injuries, and the 12-year-old was put on life support. He never woke up and passed away March 6.

The two children that were inside Brancho’s car are now with their father, police said.

According to legal documents, Brancho is “here illegally from Venezuela.”

Brancho exercised the right to remain silent and did not have an attorney in court Friday. A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for April 8.
