Toyota dealership where Katharine McPhee’s nanny was killed in horrific crash speaks out… after elderly woman, 84, crashed SUV into the building and dragged her to her death

The Hamer Toyota dealership in Los Angeles, where Katharine McPhee’s nanny was killed in a shocking car accident, issued a statement Thursday in response to the tragedy.

The dealership turned into a horrific scene after an 84-year-old woman crashed her SUV into the customer reception when she apparently hit the gas instead of the brake.

Yadira Calito, 55, a babysitter for McPhee’s son, was hit by the car last week and then dragged 20 feet, according to TMZ.

“We extend our deepest condolences to Yadira’s family, friends and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time,” Megan Maybee, the dealer’s communications director, said in a statement to Us weekly. “Losing such a vibrant life in such tragic circumstances is a heavy burden to bear, and we share in their grief.”

Despite causing a fatal accident, which also injured two dealer employees, police reportedly failed to arrest the elderly driver.

“At Hamer Toyota, we take the safety of our customers and our community very seriously. We are fully cooperating with the Los Angeles Police Department in conducting their investigation into this unfortunate event,” Maybee continued in the dealer’s statement. “Our commitment is to ensure transparency, assist the LAPD in any way we can, and learn from this incident so we can prevent such tragedies in the future.”

The dealer concluded, “In these moments of deep sadness, we ask our community to join us in commemorating Yadira and extending our collective support to her loved ones.”

In the wake of the tragedy, McPhee canceled the last two shows of her concert tour with husband David Foster in Jakarta, Indonesia, upon hearing the news.

The actress and singer was first seen in public a day before it was revealed that the singer’s beloved nanny and husband David Foster died after being run over at a car dealership.

Photos obtained by DailyMail.com show McPhee in Brentwood on Monday in a white top, black shorts and a baseball cap. She finally got out in a black car.

Police confirmed that an 84-year-old woman crashed her Toyota RAV4 into the customer reception on August 10.

The elderly driver had reportedly brought her car in for service when she hit the gas instead of the brake, causing the vehicle to collide with Calito.

She was taken to hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead. The driver of the SUV has not been arrested.

Witnesses saw the babysitter being dragged twenty feet before she was finally freed from under the car.

An off-duty nurse rushed to her aid and began CPR before emergency services arrived.

Two men, 23 and 35, who worked at the dealership were also injured at the time, but are expected to do so make a full recovery.

Horrifying images show how the white car crashes through the glass and drives into the customer area.

Calito was last photographed with the couple and their baby boy on Jan. 11 in Los Angeles.

The singer, 39, who has been busy performing in Asia with her 16-time Grammy Award-winning partner David Foster, 73, shared the devastating news in a statement on her Instagram.

Just a week ago, McPhee broke the devastating news, saying in a statement that she would be skipping performances following the “terrible family tragedy.”

It added: ‘Dear Jakarta fans, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that I will have to miss our last two shows of our Asia run.

“David and I have had a terrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us needs to go home to our family.

“Please know how sorry I am and how much I want to come back one day and perform for all of you. I love Katharine.’

DailyMail.com reached out to McPhee to comment on the tragedy, but did not receive an immediate response.

The actress and singer, who welcomed her first child, son Rennie, in 2021, did not share any further details about the incident.

Foster stayed to perform the last two shows of the tour in Jakarta, with the last one tonight in the Indonesian city.

He will be joined by Michael Bolton, Loren Allred, Peabo Bryson and Raisa for the final show.

The crash occurred around 9:10 a.m. at 11041 N. Sepulveda Blvd, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that one person died and two others were injured in the crash.

The driver did not want to go to the hospital and remained at the scene to answer questions from the police.

Police continue to call witnesses for information and are urging them to contact Valley Traffic Division detectives.

Anyone who witnessed the collision is urged to contact the criminal investigation department of the Valley Traffic Service.
