Los Angeles (E! Online) – The Oscar-winning screenwriter of Pulp Fiction is getting a heavy dose of reality.
Roger Avary, who co-wrote the 1994 neonoir classic with Quentin Tarantino, was charged with gross vehicular manslaughter on Friday for a deadly car accident in Ojai, Calif., in January.
Prosecutors claim Avary, 43, was driving drunk the night of Jan. 13 when he lost control of his car and slammed into a telephone pole. A passenger, Andreas Zini, 34, was killed in the crash. Avary's wife, Gretchen, suffered serious injuries when she was ejected from the vehicle.
Avary, who co-wrote 2007's Beowulf starring Angelina Jolie, also faces two felony counts of causing bodily injury while intoxicated. A pretrial hearing is set for Feb. 20.
