Macaulay Culkin’s older sister, Dakota, was hit by a car last week in Los Angeles. She stepped in front of a moving vehicle in West L.A. The driver followed all expected protocol for auto accidents: he stopped the vehicle, tried to offer assistance to the injured victim, and provided police with all of his identification and insurance information.
Police declared that the driver was not intoxicated at the time of the accident. He was not charged with a crime in relation to the incident.
Dakota Culkin was rushed to the hospital at UCLA. She had sustained serious brain injuries from the collision, and died the next morning. She was 29 years old.
Although he was cleared of criminal wrong-doing, the driver will most likely face a wrongful death lawsuit in relation to the accident.
