Actress Amy Locane has been indicted for aggravated manslaughter and assault by auto charges in the fatal car crash accident in June that killed one woman and injuring a man. She faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.


The former "Melrose Place" actress, who will turn 39 on Sunday, collided with another vehicle on June 27 this year on Cherry Hill Road in Montgomery Township, New Jersey. According to the police report, Locaine's car hit a 2007 Mercury Milan that was turning into a driveway, killing the other car's passenger, Helene Seeman.

The victim's husband, Fred Seeman, who was driving the vehicle, sustained serious injuries.

Earlier the same evening, Locane had been involved in another hit-and-run in Princeton. She apparently told police then that she had consumed several glasses of wine.

She is currently free on $50,000 bail.

Her lawyer, Blair Zwillman, said they plan to "fiercely defend" the charges, telling People magazine, "The other driver made a left turn on a road where Amy Locane was driving straight. Ms. Locane was followed by… individuals for nearly four miles at high speeds. The woman who followed her chased her right into the accident scene."
