No Charges In December Fatal Crash

Feb. 6, 2018 | By Patrick Sullivan

A 29-year-old Maple City woman will not face charges for a December crash that took the life of a Kingsley man.

Prosecutors decided not to file a moving violation causing death charge against the woman, but rather issue her a traffic ticket for driving too fast for conditions, says Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Capt. Randy Fewless.

The Dec. 6 crash on Voice Road killed 25-year-old Tyler Dean Troyer, who was snow blowing his driveway during a winter storm that caused more than 70 crashes across the county. Investigators determined the woman lost control of her SUV at 5:40pm, left the road, and crashed into Troyer.
