Victim of Fiery Calabasas Crash Dies

An aspiring singer who suffered burns over 80 percent of her body when she was involved in a fiery wreck earlier this month died from her injuries Saturday at County-USC Medical Center.

Gilani Taylor, 27, lost control of her vehicle while driving southbound on the Ventura (101) Freeway near the Malibu Canyon-Las Virgenes Road overpass around 8:30 a.m. Oct. 1.

Her 1995 Chrysler crashed into the center divider, hit a tanker truck and overturned, bursting into flames, authorities said.

The crash killed Taylor’s 9-year-old daughter Jayla.

Taylor's album, "Take a Picture," is still scheduled to be released the first week of November, said Reid Johnson, Taylor's publicist.
