This is so tragic.
As we told you earlier, Scott Eastwood revealed in the September/October issue of GQ Australia he’s had a hard time dating ever since one of his former girlfriends was tragically killed in a car accident.
Although the Suicide Squad actor didn’t reveal her identity, more details and photos have come to light that identify the woman as 26-year-old model named Jewel Brangman.
In fact, matching up with Eastwood’s retelling of the story, Brangman was driving from San Diego to Los Angeles back in September of 2014 when she rear-ended a van and was killed by the defective air bag.
As a result, her father filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Honda, the airbag manufacturer Takata Corp. of Japan, and Sunset Car Rental LLC of San Diego.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Honda determined the air bag inflated too forcefully, which spewed metal shrapnel and killed Brangman. So so sad.
The lawsuit said the defective air bag cut Brangman’s neck, which caused a brain injury that ultimately led to her death, according to AP.
The outlet also reports that as of April 2016, 11 people have been killed by exploding Takata airbags.
Wow.
