Country music star Emmylou Harris has been charged over a hit-and-run accident.
The Grammy-winning singer is accused of failing to exchange information with a driver whose car she hit on a freeway in Los Angeles on October 1.
A criminal complaint filed in Beverly Hills did not contain additional details about the accident or how much damage occurred. It is thought Harris ws driving a rental car.
A publicist for the 65-year-old singer did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
She is understood to have pleaded not guilty and said she didn't realise contact had been made with the other car.
Harris has won a dozen Grammys for her solo work and collaborations with artists such as Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and others.
She continues to tour and is due to release an album of duets in late February. Harris has regularly appeared in Scotland.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
