“In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it’s crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable,” the DA’s office said, according to the news outlet.

Davidson is being charged with a misdemeanor count of reckless driving, according to the AP . Davidson’s arraignment is scheduled for July 27.

Davidson could face 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, KCAL reported.
