The family of a woman, who was killed in a four-car freeway crash involving R&B star Brandy, on Tuesday filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Grammy Award-winning singer-actress in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeking $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

According to a highway patrol report, the 27-year-old performer, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, had failed to see traffic slowing in front of her while driving her Land Rover along the 405 freeway on 30 December 06, and collided with Aboudihaj’s Toyota in front of her. The 38-year-old victim’s car slammed into another vehicle, slid sideways into the freeway's center divider and was then hit by another automobile, the report said.

The collision set off a chain of accidents which left Aboudihaj, a Los Angeles waitress, dead. Aboudihaj was locomoted to Providence Holy Cross Medical Centre with blunt-force injuries and died the next evening.

Do you think it was fair on the part of the parents to sue Brandy for $50 million or are they just trying to cash in the death of their daughter? What you guys say??
