VAN BUREN COUNTY, Mich. — The man accused of hitting and killing a road worker in Van Buren County earlier this year will stand trial.
Thursday morning, a district court judge ruled there was enough evidence to send the case against Logan Brown to trial.
Logan Brown is charged with hitting and killing 58-year-old René Rangel inside a Lawrence Township construction zone on March 3.
Rangel was directing traffic while holding a sign.
Investigators tell FOX 17 that a pickup truck driven by Brown attempted to drive around a stopped vehicle when it ran into Rangel.

Brown was arrested more than two months later.
Brown is facing charges of operating while intoxicated causing death, causing death in a work or school bus zone, and operating a motor vehicle without car insurance.
During his preliminary hearing on Thursday, the judge bound Brown’s case over to circuit court.
Brown faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison if convicted.
