According to a criminal complaint, Ismert was allegedly driving his vehicle on Hill Street in Watertown at a high rate of speed, when he lost control, hit the curb and a utility pole, and the vehicle rolled over.  21 year old Valerie Schmudlach, a passenger in the vehicle, died from injuries she suffered in the crash.
