Report: Kandice Hutchinson Killed While Street Racing
As previously reported, Kandice Hutchinson - known as Kandi on A Double Shot at Love and eliminated on the show's second episode - was killed on October 21.
A new police report indicates that the fatal car accident was the result of street racing.
According to The Dallas-Fort Worth Star Telegram, toxicology tests conducted on Kandi after her death showed that she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.24, three times the legal limit in Texas.
Police say that the reality show contestant and the driver of a Mazda 6 were on the road at approximately 2:30 a.m. when they chose to race.
The race was reportedly interrupted by an Mustang in the center lane, as witness reports state Hutchinson moved her car into the right lane to pass the Mustang, while the Mazda she was racing passed the Mustang on the left side.
Soon after, both Kandi and the other driver lost control of their vehicles. After passing the Mustang, Hutchinson veered across the center lane, struck the Mazda and careened into the concrete median in the center of the highway.
Hutchinson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car and died at the scene.

I know none of you will come read this, but for new people that actually do read this I think it is sad that so many of these comments didn't care that a girl lost her life. Whether it was her fault or not she is no longer breathing! Her family doesn't get to see her anymore. Yes she made a bad decision, but she is only human. I looked at her fan page on myspace after I read all your posts and it was truly sad. She was aware that she had a drinking problem. In June of that year she posted some blogs about developing anxiety and not being able to control it. Which led to her drinking problem..she was trying to seek out help, but unfortunately she didn't get it before this tragic event. I am not giving her an excuse for the drinking. I myself have anxiety and do not deal with it by using alcohol, but I know several people that do. I do believe it is a terrible way to try and control it, but everyone has different ways. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. I only saw a few episodes

*sigh* At first, I truly felt bad about her death, but now after hearing this... I just don't know about this one. She could of been a sweet, genuine person before the show, but I judging by her actions during and after the show, I can't really recall if this sad or not.
I mean, God bless MTV for trying to make this seem something that it's not, but her choices resulted in own death. It was her choice about whether, or not if she was going to drink and enter a car that day. She chose her own path, and everybody that knew her should except that. Not the viewers of some lame reality show that had nothing to do with her.
So, if anybody presses on how sad this is remember this, "you are who you say you are." Which by the context of this quote, I mean that she proved that she was a lush/alcoholic by her conversations, personality, actions, etc.
Sincerely,
Gero III
