Cameron Bean, 28, died after being struck by a car while running along Moccasin Bend Road. He was struck on Sept. 19 and died on Sept. 20. 
Valerie Bray was indicted Thursday on vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident in the September death of Cameron Bean. She has posted $75,000 bail and will appear before Criminal Court Judge Tom Greenholtz on Jan. 22.A 59-year-old woman accused in the death of a well-known local runner was formally charged during her first appearance Friday in Hamilton County Criminal Court.
Valerie Bray, who faces charges of vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident, made a brief appearance before Judge Tom Greenholtz. She will reappear Feb. 9 for a status hearing.
Police said Bray was driving on Moccasin Bend Road on Sept. 19 when she swerved into Bean as he was running against traffic on the road. Bean, 28, died from his injuries two days later.
Bray told police she could not see Bean because the sun was in her eyes. The next day, investigators returned to the scene around the same of the accident to test her claim. The sun wasn’t an issue, which discredited her, police said. Since then, authorities have not released where Bray drove after fleeing the scene, but said she had a child in the back seat.
They named Bray as their main suspect but did not make an arrest until a grand jury indicted her on the charges earlier this month.
