Campbell family mourning death of daughter, arrest of father in crash
Her mother, Frances Handl, is dealing with the loss of her daughter, arrest of her husband and also the trauma of witnessing the horrific crash.
Filip Handl was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of murder in a suspected DUI-related collision. His stepdaughter died after Handl's vehicle backed over her. Authorities do not believe that the Handl intended to hit his stepdaughter, but meant to drive forward instead, crashing into the victim as she stood in the driveway. Handl was driving while under the influence of alcohol, and he admitted in his statements to authorities to having done so before, causing his stepdaughter's death. Police arrived to find a woman, underneath a truck. The woman was not breathing and had no pulse. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Police contacted Handl, who had lived with the victim at the residence, and determined that he was under the influence of alcohol. A test showed later he had a blood-alcohol level well above the legal limit.
