AceShowbiz - Tammy Sytch, also known by her ring name Sunny, has landed in jail for being involved in a fatal car crash last month. The former WWE star has been arrested as she has been accused of causing the accident that resulted in a casualty.
The former wrestler-turned-porn star was taken into custody on Friday night, May 6 and placed behind bars at the Volusia County Jail, per TMZ report. She was booked on multiple charges, including felony DUI manslaughter, which is the most serious of the offenses she allegedly committed.
Tammy is also accused of driving on a suspended/revoked license and causing great bodily harm and/or death as a result. Her bond is set at over $220,000 total.
The car crash happened at around 8:28 P.M. on March 25 on United States Highway 1 in Volusia County. According to a traffic crash report by the Ormond Beach Police Department, Tammy allegedly was driving south when she ran into a vehicle that was sitting at a traffic light.
The 49-year-old was driving a 2012 Mercedes when she crashed into the rear of a 2013 Kia Sorento that was stopped at a stoplight. The Kia then crashed into the rear of a 2011 GMC Yukon that was also stopped at the light.
The driver of the Kia, 75-year-old Julian Lafrancis Lasseter of Daytona Beach Shores, was transported to a nearby hospital, but he was later declared dead from injuries suffered in the wreck. The driver and the passengers in the Yukon complained of neck, back, side and head injuries, but were not transported to the hospital.
Tammy was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center, the same hospital where the driver of the Kia was transported to, with unknown injuries. She was released "after a search warrant was approved and executed to obtain a sample of her blood for investigation of impairment."
She wasn't immediately arrested at the time as the results of her blood test were still pending. The officer, however, noted in the report that two witnesses said Tammy had been "driving at a high rate of speed" before hitting the Kia.
