The 20-year-old, real-life athlete, who landed her role in the 2005 remake due to her baseball skills, was a passenger in an Audi that was rear-ended by a truck on the 10 Freeway, and then struck by another vehicle. Kraft was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors pronounced her dead.

If you go to a real news site and read the story it will tell you that the driver of the Audia (Molly Kate Adams) was drunk and rear-ended an 18-wheeler.

Anyway, RIP Sammi I loved you in this film as much as I did Tatum in the original. Such a shame to lose a talent like yours so soon.

What did being drunk have anything to with her getting rear-ended? I am being sincere, I would like to know, I am a little confused as to what actually happened.
