Authorities in Los Angeles are investigating the cause of a crash that involved the brother of actress Salma Hayek that left one person dead.
The Los Angeles Times reported Sami Hayek, 40, was driving a 2006 Ford GT along Sunset Boulevard in Bel-Air, a neighborhood in the California city, just before 5 p.m. on Sunday when he lost control, crossed into the westbound lanes and collided with a Toyota Tacoma pickup.
A male passenger, who Los Angeles police described as a 43-year-old resident of Mexico, suffered major blunt force trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. His name has not been released pending notification of next of kin.
