It looks like Brandy got just what she wished for this holiday season.

Following the star’s involvement in a car crash that resulted in a woman’s death last year, Los Angeles prosecutors have now decided to drop a vehicular manslaughter charge against the singer, E! News reports.

Exactly one-year ago today, the Grammy-winner’s Land Rover slammed into the back of 38-year-old Awatif Aboudihaj’s Toyota Corolla and started a chain-reaction four car collision.

Aboudihaj, a mother of two, died the next day.

California Highway Patrol issued a misdemeanor manslaughter charge against the singer, citing negligence as the cause for the accident.

“These past 12 months have been extraordinarily hard for Brandy and her family, who were unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by an ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol, accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished,” the singer’s lawyer said in a statement, E! News reports.

“However, Brandy continues to be mindful that she was extremely fortunate not to have been injured in this accident and that there was a life lost.”

Even though the charge has now been dropped, Brandy still faces a 50-million dollar lawsuit by the victim’s family.
