The tragic death of Scott Eastwood's former girlfriend was one of several connected to defective airbags that led to the biggest recall in U.S. automotive history.
Scott recently opened up about the death of one of his first loves in the September/October issue of GQ Australia. Eastwood called the cause of her death "f----- up"
"It was a fender bender, and there was a recall on airbags," he explained. "Her airbag exploded. It shot a projectile through her body. It split her spine."
Eastwood did not name the woman, but photos show he dated a 26-year-old model named Jewel Brangman.
On Sept. 7, 2014, Brangman was driving from San Diego to Los Angeles when she died in a car accident after rear-ending a van, the Associated Press reported. Her death subsequently prompted her father to file a wrongful death lawsuit against Honda, the airbag manufacturer and the rental company of the vehicle she was driving, a 2001 Honda Civic.
Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined her air bag inflated with too much force and spewed metal shrapnel, killing the gymnastics coach and model, according to AP.
