Musician Josh Klinghoffer, previously with Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers, accepted a plea deal on May 28 after a fatal pedestrian collision in March 2024. He was sentenced to a year of probation and community labor for vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence. The incident involved Israel Sanchez, who was hit while crossing a street. Following the collision, Klinghoffer remained on the scene and called for help; however, he faces a wrongful death lawsuit from Sanchez's daughter, alleging distracted driving.
Klinghoffer was sentenced to one year of informal probation and 60 days of community labor after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter.
The victim, Israel Sanchez, was struck while walking in a protected crosswalk and later died in the hospital after the incident.
