"Emmylou Harris has been charged with hit-and-run after a collision on a California freeway.  The folk singer is accused of having hit another car with her rental vehicle while driving on the 405 in October 2012, according to TMZ. Authorities originally launched an investigation into the incident when the driver of the other vehicle claimed that Harris &amp;quot;slammed into&amp;quot; their car before leaving the scene.  The LA County District Attorney filed official charges today against Harris for the single hit-and-run misdemeanour.  Harris&amp;#039;s rep, however, claims that the 65-year-old drove away only because she was unaware of the severity of the crash, calling it a &amp;quot;garden-variety accident that happens every day on the 405&amp;quot;. The singer could spend six months in jail if found guilty. View all of this week&amp;#039;s best celebrity pictures - Photo gallery:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
