(AP) -- Two months after the fatal crash, a woman blamed for the deaths of four young people in suburban Detroit is returning to court to learn whether she'll go to trial for murder.

Authorities say Frances Dingle was drunk when her van slammed into a car in Roseville in Macomb County on March 16. District Judge Joseph Boedeker was expected to hear evidence at a probable-cause hearing Friday.

Stephanie Currie, Erica Haudek and Jordan Michalak - all high-school students in St. Clair Shores - were killed, along with their driver, 19-year-old Devon Spurlock.

Dingle is charged with second-degree murder and driving under the influence causing death. She's been locked up in the Macomb County jail since the crash.
