The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office announced Monday that it has recommended a vehicular manslaughter charge be brought against the pop star. Brandy was involved in a car accident on December 30th, which resulted in one death.

The charge under review is a misdemeanor, the city attorney’s office said. It carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The accident occurred when Brandy failed to slow her 2007 Land Rover on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles, and rear-ended the car ahead of her.
