NUGGETS GUARD FACING TRAFFIC CHARGES: J.R. Smith due to appear in Jersey court stemming from fatal car crash.
*Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith will face a judge in New Jersey next week to face traffic summonses stemming from a car crash that killed a friend in 2007, reports the Associated Press.
A Monmouth County grand jury in October declined to indict the New Jersey native on vehicular homicide charges that could have sent him to jail.
According to police, Smith drove his SUV around a stopped car at a stop sign and into the path of an oncoming car in Millstone in June 2007. His friend, Andre Bell, was killed in the crash. Smith suffered a sprain in his left shoulder.
The former star at Lakewood High School and St. Benedict's Prep in Newark is due in Millstone Municipal Court on Jan. 13.
Since the accident, Smith has had two more speeding tickets and three license suspensions in New Jersey.
