This is so sad!

Salma Hayek's brother Sami was involved in a fatal auto accident on Sunday evening, and he was driving the 2006 Ford GT that belongs to Hayek's hubby Francois Henri Pinault. We photographed Salma and Francois in the car back in 2012 (see pic above).

The Los Angeles Police department reports that Hayek was going eastbound on the 10200 block of Sunset Boulevard in Bel-Air at 4:50pm when he lost control, crossed into westbound lanes and collided with a Toyota Tacoma pickup. A male passenger in the front seat of the Ford was pronounced dead at the scene, according to KTLA. Hayek suffered several broken ribs and facial lacerations and was taken to a nearby hospital.

The cause of the collision is under investigation.
