LeAnn Rimes accused of hit and run
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 August 2009
LeAnn Rimes failed to stop after being involved in a car accident last week, according to reports. Police officers in LA apparently visited the singer at her home on Thursday night to question her about a crash earlier in the evening.
A spokesperson for the singer confirmed that she was under investigation by the police but played down her involvement, saying: “It was a routine police investigation into this incident, and a police report was filed. We are confident that this matter will be resolved shortly and LeAnn will be cleared”.
A police spokesperson added that no one had been injured in the accident and no charged had yet been brought, telling People: “[Rimes] was questioned and released. It’s an ongoing investigation”.
