Brandy At Fault For Fatal Accident?

Actress and R&B singer Brandy was involved in a fatal, four-car accident on a Los Angeles freeway last month that started when her SUV hit another car, police released on Wednesday January 24. Auto insurance is required in California. The car insurance company most likely will become involved, as the payouts to the victims will undoubtedly be quite high.

The 27-year-old, Brandy, was not injured, but the driver of the car she rear-ended with her Land Rover in the December 30th crash died, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The victim was identified as Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, a married mother of one, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Leland Tang.

No charges or arrests have been made in connection with the accident, and no formal determination has been made as to what caused the crash, which was first reported by TMZ.

A statement issued by Brandy’s publicist said: “She wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased” and asks the media to “respect the privacy of everyone involved at this time.”

The singer-actress, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was alone in her vehicle and no alcohol or drugs were involved, Tang said.

Brandy told officers she was driving at about 65 miles per hour before the crash occurred.

“We’ve impounded all four vehicles, and the outcome of the mechanical inspection is coming to us today or tomorrow,” Tang said.

“Barring any mechanical difficulties on Brandy’s part ... then there’s the very high probability that she is the party most at fault or the contributing party.”

We are sure that this must be tough on Brandy and hope that all goes well for her.
