MUSKEGON COUNTY, Michigan — A woman is heading to trial for leading police on a chase, then crashing into another car and killing a man, Muskegon County officials say.

Letitia Jacquan Pimpleton, a 23-year-old Grand Rapids woman, is heading to a bench trial on December 18.

Pimpleto is charged with operating while intoxicated causing death, fleeing police and concealed carry of a weapon. All three are felony charges.

Deputies say the crash happened in February. A driver in Ottawa County had called police, claiming they were being followed by another vehicle, driven by Pimpleton.

Muskegon County deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle fled eastbound on Hall Road and led deputies on a pursuit.

The vehicle failed to stop at the intersection at Maple Island Road, ultimately hitting a northbound vehicle, which was driven by a 53-year-old Twin Lake man.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the only occupant of the vehicle. He was identified as Brian Russell Frey.
