The accident that changed Halle’s life forever!
posted in Halle Berry, Halle Berry Gossip, Personal Life |Taking another peek back into history, I will tell you one of the most important events of Halle Berry’s life.
In February 2000, Berry was involved in a car accident in which she struck a vehicle after running a red light, and left the scene before the police arrived. Berry, who had sustained a head injury, stated she had no recollection of the accident and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge. She paid a fine, made restitution to the other driver, performed community service, and was placed on three years’ supervised probation by the Los Angeles County Adult Probation Office.
Halle says; it’s a blank. Though she has tried repeatedly to recall what happened, she says she has “not a clue how I got from driving from my friend’s house to being a bloody mess with a crashed car.” Though Halle has accepted the judgment of doctors that, because of the head injury she suffered in the accident–a bond-deep gash to her forehead that required 20 stitches to close–she may never remember, she acknowledges that she did leave the crash site before authorities arrived. Which is why, she says, she agreed to plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of a traffic accident.
“It was important for me as the woman I say that I am to take some responsibility,” says Halle of the accident in which the driver of the other vehicle broke her wrist. “I think that was the right thing for me to do.”
