An SUV driven by film director John Singleton struck and fatally injured a woman as she walked across a Los Angeles street in what was apparently a "tragic accident," a police spokesman said Friday. About 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Singleton was driving west on Jefferson Boulevard near 5th Avenue when his Lexus SUV hit Constance Russell, 57, said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Jason Lee. Russell was not in a crosswalk, he said.

Russell died at a hospital Friday morning.

Singleton, whose films include "Boyz N the Hood " and "Four Brothers," was not cited.

Repost - and the one you posted is slanted heavily against the motorist because he was driving an EEEEEVIL SUV.

Check out the other thread, above. The guy did what he was supposed to do after an accident, and the pedestrian was jaywalking.
