A second wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against US pop star Brandy Norwood following that previously reported traffic accident that occurred in San Diego on 30 Dec.
As previously reported, Norwood is accused of causing a car crash that led to the death of one Awatef Aboudihaj. Civil proceedings were launched against the singer last month by the parents of Aboudihaj in relation to their daughter's death. But Aboudihaj's own two children were in her car at the time of the crash and both sustained injuries, and the new lawsuit has been launched on their behalf.
As for criminal proceedings in relation to the crash, prosecutors in San Diego are still assessing recommendations by the California Highway Patrol that they charge Norwood with 'misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter'. If charged Brandy would face a $1000 fine and a year in jail.
In a previous statement about the legal proceedings against her in relation to the crash, a spokesman for Brandy told reporters: "The accident was a terrible tragedy, and Brandy's heart goes out to Awatef Aboudihaj's family. But for legal reasons we cannot comment on this lawsuit".
