Livingston County Undersheriff Mike Murphy identified the at-fault driver as 32-year-old Treena Jean Beazley, who suffered a minor injury and was arrested. She has since been arraigned on a charge of operating a vehicle while under the influence causing death and released on bond. Murphy tells WHMI preliminary investigation indicates Beazley was traveling west on Clyde Road in a Jeep Wrangler when she failed to obey a stop sign at the intersection and struck a Dodge Caliber driven by 56-year-old Roger Miles of Fenton, who was traveling south on Fenton Road. Miles was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Funeral arrangements are pending and being handled by MacDonaldâs Funeral Home in Howell.
