MTV Reality Star Killed in Car Wreck

Posted Dec 5th 2008 3:35PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Kandice Hutchinson, one of the contestants kicked off the upcoming MTV dating show "A Double Shot at Love," died in a car accident a short while after taping her last appearance for the show.

We're told the producers of the show -- which features two bisexual twin sisters (above left ) looking for love -- edited her scenes to remove some of the more outrageous behavior, out of respect for the family. Sources close to the show tell us the producers have been in touch with the girl's family and they are supportive of MTV's plan to keep her in the show.

Launch photosAccording to KDFW in Texas, Hutchinson died on October 21 after her car was rear-ended causing Kandice to be ejected. Police said she died on the scene.

The first episode of "A Double Shot at Love" will be dedicated to her.

3. Oh well, one less whore. What kind of stupid show is that anyway? Isn't MTV supposed to be MUSIC television? Doesn't sound like that show has anything to do with music.

8. MTV is a joke. Out of respect..... What reality is there when they won't show the behavior that probably led to her being ejected (without a seat belt no doubt) from the car anyway. Are the cameras going to continue to follow her sister around since her chances at 'finding love' have doubled now?

10. First - she was traveling out of control. The other car tried to move out of her way. People who live in the 'burbs shouldn't come into Dallas to drink - STAY in the burbs!!! Secondly - she's not one of the twins - READ.

14. Please tell me why the headline for this story is "MTV reality star ". She's just a girl who is going to be on a reality show. That does not in and of itself make you a star.

15. Actually, she wasn't rearended, but instead rearended someone before then slamming into a concrete barrier. Other reports also stated that she'd been drinking heavily before the incident.

EULESS – A 22-year-old Joshua woman was killed early Tuesday on Airport Freeway after she was ejected from a car that slammed into a concrete barrier and then burst into flames, police said.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office identified the woman as Kandice Hutchison who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident happened about 2:30 a.m. in the 500 block of Airport Freeway.
Hutchison was driving the car at a high rate of speed just before the accident, police said.
Hutchison’s car bumped another car before the victim’s car slammed into the barrier, police said.
“A car in front of her saw her coming and attempted to move over, but her car bumped that vehicle,” Euless police Lt. John Williams said Tuesday. “That sent her into the median.”
No other injuries were reported.
The crash forced police to close part of Airport Freeway between Industrial Boulevard and Main Street for about eight hours as authorities investigated the accident
