Mars heiress worth $20.5billion charged with reckless driving over fatal head-on crash with minivan which killed grandmother, 86
JACQUELINE Badger Mars, an owner of the sweets company Mars, will face a reckless driving charge after a fatal crash in the US.
Police says Mars was driving a Porsche sport utility vehicle in Virginia on October 4 when it crossed the centre line and hit a minivan.
An 86-year-old minivan passenger died at the scene.
Seventy-four-year-old Mars, the company founder's daughter who has been ranked by Forbes Magazine as the world's seventh richest woman, is set to appear in court December 5.
A personal spokesman says Mars "regrets this tragic accident" and her thoughts and prayers are with those who suffered injury and loss.
