The Oscar-nominated director behind Boyz in the Hood and 2 Fast 2 Furious was driving a Lexus SUV when he struck and killed a jaywalker in Los Angeles. A 57-year-old woman stepped in front of his car in his Jefferson Park neighborhood. She was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

According to police, Singleton immediately stopped and waited for the cops to show up. “Mr. Singleton stopped and identified himself as required by law,” they said, “and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Singleton was also the producer of Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan and the just-released Illegal Tender.

The lesson here, people???

DON’T JAYWALK!!! And if you’re going to jaywalk, LOOK FIRST!! Be careful out there!
