The California Highway Patrol recommended this morning that actress-singer Brandy be charged with vehicular manslaughter in a freeway crash that killed a woman last month.The California Highway Patrol referred the matter to the city attorney's office for review.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in county jail and a $1,000 fine, but Prosecutors couldn't say when they would make a decision about whether to bring a case. If charged, Brandy wouldn't necessarily have to appear in court and could have her lawyer enter a plea.
Brandy has publicly expressed condolences to the victim's family last week. Highway Patrol also has said Brandy wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.
Brandy, 27, was driving a Land Rover on Interstate 405 on Dec. 30 when traffic slowed and her vehicle struck the back of Honda driven by Awatef Aboudihaj, 38.
Aboudihaj's car hit another vehicle, slid sideways into the center divider and was then hit by another car. Aboudihaj died at a hospital from blunt-force injuries, according to the coroner's office.
