A New Jersey woman was struck and killed by a former ‘Melrose Place’ actress in a drunk driving car accident in New York.

The actress was driving a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe when she hit the passenger side of a vehicle that was attempting to turn into a driveway. The passenger in this vehicle, a 60-year-old mother, was killed instantly.

Her husband, who was driving the vehicle, was transported to the hospital by helicopter with serious injuries. The former actress is charged with vehicular homicide and second and third-degree assault by auto.
