Driver Who Killed Girlfriend of Browns' Chris Smith with Car Won't Be Charged

Police will not charge the woman who struck and killed Petara Cordero, the girlfriend of Cleveland Browns defensive end Chris Smith, stating that she was not legally intoxicated or speeding at the time of the accident.

Evan McDonald of Cleveland.com reported the news Saturday and provided details of the Sept. 11 accident, which took place on Interstate 90 in Cleveland.

"Smith and Cordero, who had a daughter Haven Harris Smith four weeks before the deadly crash, were westbound about 2 a.m. when his 2019 Lamborghini blew a tire. That caused his car to veer left and strike the center median wall, police said.
