Katharine McPhee’s nanny fatally run over by elderly woman: report – New York Post
A woman who worked as a nanny for singer Katharine McPhee and her husband, David Foster, reportedly died after an elderly woman hit her at a San Fernando Valley car dealership.
A source identified Yadira Calito, 55, to TMZ Tuesday as the woman struck on Aug. 9 by the 84-year-old driver of a Toyota RAV4 that crashed into Hamer Toyota’s customer reception area.
The Los Angeles Police Department declined to confirm the identity of the deceased woman when contacted by The Post on Tuesday.
According to a LAPD press release, the elderly driver, a resident of Mission Hills, accelerated for unknown reasons and collided with several people inside the building.
The driver was not injured but caused injuries to two male employees, a 23-year-old and a 35-year-old, as well as a 55-year-old female customer, presumably Calito.
All three victims were rushed to the hospital where the two men were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to make a full recovery.
The female customer had fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
No arrests have been made in regard to the collision, the LAPD stated.
The Post has reached out to reps for McPhee and Foster as well as Hamer Toyota for comment on the incident.
The dealership addressed an “event” on its Facebook page on Aug. 9, saying it would be closed the rest of the day and “resume operations” on Aug. 10.
“Our primary concern at this time is the well-belong of those who were injured. We ask for the community’s understanding and patience,” the statement read.
McPhee and Foster announced Friday that there had been “a horrible tragedy” in their family, prompting the “American Idol” alum to leave the couple’s “David Foster and Friends” tour in Asia.
“Dearest Jakarta fans, it’s with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run,” the “Terrified” singer announced on Instagram.
“David [Foster] and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us need to get back home to our family. Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love Katharine.”
TMZ broke the news Friday that the emergency was Calito’s sudden death, but neither McPhee nor Foster has confirmed the news themselves.
McPhee kept a low profile and appeared somber at LAX on Friday.
