Former child star Amanda Bynes was accused of rear-ending a woman, called only Kisa, and refusing to give Kisa her insurance information on Saturday in Beverly Hills. Kisa then called the police who filed a hit-and-run report. Kisa is claiming there was significant damage done to her car. Reports suggest that Bynes may have been texting while driving when she allegedly hit Kisa’s car. Texting while driving is illegal in both California and Illinois.
Bynes is finding herself in a bad place with this hit-and-run report happening shortly after Bynes was charged with a DUI and another hit-and-run, both are still pending. In that instance Bynes allegedly sideswiped a police car, and was later apprehended but refused to take a Breathalyzer test. Bynes plead not guilty and even tweeted to President Obama, “Hey @BarackObama… I don’t drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don’t hit and run. The end.” If convicted Bynes may face 48 hours in jail, 3 years probation, a 9 month-alcohol program, and a hefty fine.
In Rockford, if you are convicted with a DUI you can face up to 1 year in jail, suspension of your driver’s license for up to 3 years, and a $2,500 minimum fine. Jail time, community service, and fines only get worse if there are children in the vehicle, if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is over .16, or if there was an accident involved.
If you were involved in a traffic accident, a moving violation, or a DUI, a lawyer is necessary. Click here or Call the Crosby Law Firm at 815-397-2006 for a free consultation.
