US pop chick Brandy Norwood has settled a wrongful death lawsuit issued against her by the family of a woman who died in car accident involving the singer back in 2006. As previously reported, Norwood was accused of causing an accident on the LA freeway in December that year by failing to slow down when the cars in front of her did. She shunted into one of those cars, causing various vehicles in front of her to be shunted into the car ahead. Awatef Aboudihaj was killed in the accident.
Although no criminal charges were ever pursued against Norwood, mainly due to lack of evidence, a number of civil lawsuits stemmed from the case. It's the litigation launched by Aboudihaj's children that has been settled, with TMZ reporting that the R&B star will pay out $300,000 as part of an out of court settlement. Other lawsuits relating to the crash, including one from Aboudihaj's husband, are seemingly ongoing.
