Former Angel Drunken Murderer?
OK, so he only played like half of a season for the Halos, but Jim Leyritz was charged with DUI homicide for ramming what I can only imagine was his huge SUV into another car while he was drunk and killing the driver in the other car.

You assume...
There is a known problem with "inertial unlatching" on side impacts, wherein the collision itself causes the seatbelt buckle latch to fail. If Leyritz went through a light and broadsided her Montero, then it is possible that she was doing everything right, and still her seatbelt failed and she was thrown from her driver's seat.
