One Dead, One Injured, One Arrested After Roger Avery DUI Accident

3:26AM Defamer Hollywood | Following in the tragic and treacherous path of Prison Break actor Lane Garrison, currently serving a 40 month sentence for killing a Beverly Hills High School student on a DUI fun run, Roger Avary, the Academy Award-winning writer/director who’s worked on Pulp Fiction, The Rules of Attraction, and most recently the Beowulf screenplay, now finds himself in his own living nightmare following a fatal accident early Sunday morning in Ojai. Here’s the chain of events, according to the LAT: Avary was driving outside Ojai Lumber Co. building at 2:54 a.m Sunday when the accident occured. Avary’s wife, Gretchen, 40, was ejected from the back seat. She was taken by paramedics to Ojai Valley Community Hospital, with injuries listed as “serious.” Passenger Andreas Zedini, 34, of Italy, died at Ventura County Medical Center. Firefighters had to pull him from the wreckage. Avary was arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and was booked into Ventura County Jail before he posted $50,000 bail. This all amounts to a triple-decker shit sandwich for one of the founding fathers of the legendary Video Archives in Manhattan Beach. At this point we’re just praying that Mrs. Avary pulls through OK. ‘Pulp Fiction’ co-writer arrested after fatal crash [LAT] More »
