Amy Locane-Bovenizer; Indicted in Fatal DUI Car Crash

Former Melrose Place star, Amy Locane-Bovenizer, has been indicted on Thursday afternoon on charges of aggravated manslaughter and assault-by-automobile charges by a New Jersey grand jury.  It is alleged that Locane-Bovenizer was drunk at the time of the fatal accident.

“Alcohol intoxication, excessive speed and reckless driving were the proximate cause of the death of Helene Seeman and injuries sustained by Fred Seeman,” Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey Soriano alleged in a statement issued yesterday, according to NJ.com

Locane-Bovenizer who is currently free on $50,000 bail, was involved in the car accident on June 27 that killed Helene Seeman, 60, and critically injured her husband, Fred Seeman.

Locane-Bovenizer, of Hopewell, New Jersey, was reportedly being pursued by the driver of a vehicle she had rear-ended at the intersection of Cherry Valley Road and Route 206 in Princeton Township.   Locane-Bovenizer’s 2007 Chevy Tahoe hit the Seeman’s vehicle as they were pulling into their driveway on Cherry Hill Road in Montgomery Township.

Helene Seeman was pronounced dead at the scene while her husband was airlifted to Robert Wood Johnson University Medical Center in New Brunswick after sustaining 10 broken ribs, New Jersey.com said.

According to a report from the UK Daily Mail, Locane-Bovenizer suffered minor cuts to her right foot in the incident.

Now, the 39-year-old faces 10 to 30 years behind bars for the manslaughter charge and five to 10 years for the assault by auto charge.

Blair Zwillman, Amy’s attorney, said he was “surprised” by the aggravated manslaughter charge saying, “I don’t believe it is supported by the law or the facts and I think it constitutes over-reaching by the prosecutor’s office.”
