Brandy

A second wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against R&B singer Brandy in the aftermath of her December 06 deadly auto accident.

On Jan 30, a $50 million lawsuit was filed by the parents of the diseased, claiming that Brandy was driving recklessly when her sport utility vehicle struck the back of a Honda driven by Awatef Aboudihaj.

Awatef Aboudihaj was killed and her two sons, Mrwan Mohamed, 14, and Kareem Mohamed, 10, were injured in the Dec. 30 accident on the San Diego Freeway.

The latest lawsuit was filed Feb. 8 by attorney Paul N. Philips on behalf of the two boys. It said unspecified injuries to the children will likely cause some permanent disability. Damages will be determined at trial, the lawsuit said.

"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," the singer's spokesman, Allan Mayer, said in an earlier statement.

The city attorney's office is still deciding whether to charge the singer with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, which was recommended by California Highway Patrol investigators.

If charged and convicted, Brandy faces up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
