Regina King Sued for Freeway Car Accident

One of my favorite actresses, Regina King, is being sued over a 2010 car accident in California. A woman by the name of Daina Quinones is alleging that King rear-ended her on the freeway, in July 2010. According to court documents,

“King-Desdune noticed that traffic ahead was slowing down, but said the Defendant was negligently unable to slow her vehicle in time and the front of her vehicle collided violently and forcefully with the rear of Quinones’ vehicle… the plaintiff’s vehicle suffered major damage and was a total loss as a result of the physical damage to the vehicle. At the scene of the accident the Plaintiff complained of pain to her neck and stated she would seek medical aid immediately.”

Quinones is suing for wage loss, medical expenses, and unspecified damages.

But on a more positive note, King, who stars in TNT’s critically acclaimed drama series “Southland,” will serve as social media ambassador for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards(R) airing live on TNT and TBS Sunday, Jan. 29. Through posts on Twitter and Facebook, King will serve as the online face for the awards, giving viewers access to behind-the-scenes moments during the weeks building up to the show, as well as from the red carpet. Sweet!
