Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Brandy will not face charges in a December 2006 car crash in Los Angeles that killed a 38-year-old woman.
Police had recommended that the former star of the TV comedy 'Moesha', whose real name is Brandy Norwood, face vehicular manslaughter charges in the four-vehicle crash.
The incident began when Brandy's Land Rover struck another car from behind on an LA freeway.
A spokesperson for the LA City Attorney said that there was insufficient evidence from which a jury could find the 28-year-old guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Brandy had been facing up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if charged and convicted of vehicular manslaughter for the 30 December 2006 crash.
Relatives of Awatef Aboudihaj, who was killed in the crash, have filed a $50m wrongful death lawsuit against the star.
Investigators ruled out alcohol and drugs as factors in the crash and said there was no evidence that Brandy, who was alone in her car, was using a cell phone or was otherwise distracted.
Brandy burst on the recording scene in 1994 and won a Grammy in 1998 for her duet with singer Monica on the hit song 'The Boy is Mine'. Her fourth album, 'Afrodisiac', was released in 2004.
