TMZ is reporting it has obtained a copy of the lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court.   The report details that lawyers for the family of the deceased claim, "Defendant Brandy Norwood was driving recklessly in the freeway when her car collided with Awatif Aboudihaj's car."

The charges stem from a fatal accident in December.  Brandy, 27, was driving a Land Rover on the San Diego (405) Freeway on Dec. 30 when traffic slowed and her vehicle struck the back of Honda driven by Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, according to a CHP report.

The California Highway Patrol recommended Monday that actress- singer Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in an L.A. freeway crash that killed a woman motorist last month, a city attorney's spokesman said.

The CHP referred the matter to the City Attorney's Office for review, said spokesman Nick Velasquez and prosecutors couldn't say when they would make a decision about whether to bring a case.
