In the wake of a December car accident that saw Brandy involved in a fatal car crash, police have recommended that the 27-year-old singer/actress be charged with a single misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter.

As previously reported, on December 30 Brandy failed to stop her Land Rover from striking the car in front of her on a Los Angeles freeway. The driver of the struck vehicle, 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj, died when her car slammed into a third vehicle head on,  hit the center divider and broad-sided by a fourth vehicle.

If convicted, Brandy could face a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
