Douville said the vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed when the driver missed a curve. The vehicle skidded off the road and hit a culvert, causing the Blazer to go airborne. Police said the car hit a tree and rolled over at least two times, possibly three. It is still unknown how fast Brown was traveling. The posted speed limit is 35 m.p.h., said Douville.
Charges are pending as officials wait on results of the driver's blood alcohol level.
Douville said typically, a person with a .10 blood alcohol level in this predicament would be charged with OUIL causing death, a charge punishable by up to 15 years in prison. In Michigan, .10 is considered legally intoxicated. Brown does not have a previous alcohol-related driving record, said Douville.
