Michelle McMillan, the 58-year-old Oregon woman wanted for a July 30 crash that killed 36-year-old Nathaniel Franciosi while he was walking on a sidewalk, was arrested in California and extradited to Oregon to face a manslaughter charge.
Franciosi was walking on the sidewalk along Pacific Highway when 2 cars crashed and one came to rest on the sidewalk, striking him. Franciosi was rushed to the hospital but later died from his injuries. One of those drivers, McMillan, who was not seriously injured, had a blood alcohol content of more than 3 times the legal limit.
