What is the purpose of a "pre-indictment hearing"?

A relative of mine has been accused of running a red light that caused a car crash that ended in a fatality. She was never issued a ticket, but the "crash report" determined that it was she, not the other driver that ran the red light. There were no witnesses, other than a minor passenger in the other car. She was informed Friday that she or her lawyer must attend a pre-indictment hearing tomorrow. What goes on at these types of hearings and what exactly is the purpose?
