R&B superstar Brandy, 27, may not have gotten off scot free from her recent involvement in a fatal car crash after all. The California Highway Patrol recommended that the singer be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, the AP reports. This could mean up to one year in county jail and $1,000 fine.

"The [city attorney's] office is currently reviewing the case and determining whether the evidence warrants the filing of a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter," office spokesman Nick Velasquez said.

The accident occurred on December 30, 2006 as Brandy drove her Land Rover into the back of a Honda driven by Awatef Aboudihaj, 38. Aboudihaj's car hit another vehicle before ending up on the center median where she was struck by someone else. She later died of her injuries.

Brandy is not suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

A message seeking comment from the AP to Brandy's publicist, Courtney Barnes, was not immediately returned.
