Friends remember Fenton teenager Audrey Seigle as always having a smile on her face.
Four months have passed since a train struck and killed Fenton teenager Audrey Seigle in July and her friends continue to miss her "bubbly, cheerful and electrifying" personality. Claire Lang, 15, met Seigle in middle school at Charyl Stockwell Academy in Howell and formed a connection with her. The train incident devastated her. "I miss her unbelievably," Lang said.

Friends place dflowers in the area of train crash that killed Fenton teenager Audrey Seigle Monday.
The train collision that killed a Fenton teenager appears to be a tragic accident, police said. “There is nothing that has led us to believe otherwise,” said Fenton Police Lt. Jason Slater. Fenton Police met with Canadian National Railway (CN) officials Thursday to review train surveillance.
