Suicide Squad actor Scott Eastwood, youngest son of Clint Eastwood, opened up for the first time about how his girlfriend was tragically killed by a defective airbag.  Jewel Brangman, who was 26 at the time of her death, was driving a rental car from San Diego to LA when her Honda rear-ended a van, setting off the airbag that projected with too much force, sending shrapnel into the young woman and killing her.

Brangman’s father has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Honda, Takata, the airbag manufacturer, and the rental car company.
