CHP Recommends Charge Against Brandy In Fatal Crash
LOS ANGELES -- A city attorney's spokesman says the California Highway Patrol is recommending that actress-singer Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for a fatal freeway crash.
Brandy, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was driving a sport-utility vehicle that was involved in a fatal collision last month on the San Diego (405) Freeway, authorities said last week. Brandy spokeswoman Courtney Barnes issued a statement confirming the singer-actress' involvement in the crash.
According to the CHP's preliminary report, there was no evidence of drugs or alcohol involved in the collision, which occurred about 10:30 a.m.
The 28-year-old singer and "Moesha" star was driving a 2007 Land Rover on the northbound 405 Freeway south of Sepulveda Boulevard, according to the CHP. The Land Rover, going about 65 mph in the No. 5 lane, rear-ended a 2005 Toyota, which caromed into the rear of a 1989 Toyota before ending up near the center divider, where it was hit by a 1988 Acura, the CHP reported.
The woman driving the 2005 Toyota, 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj, was taken to hospital for treatment of "major" injuries, the CHP reported. Aboudihaj died about 8:30 that night, said Capt. Ed Winter of the coroner's office.
