"Melrose Place" star Amy Locane-Bovenizer giggled after crash, cop says

(CBS/AP) MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP - Amy Locane-Bovenizer, an actress who appeared on the television series "Melrose Place," was giggling and laughing after a car crash that killed a New Jersey woman, a police officer says.

The officer says Locane-Bovenizer said police and emergency personnel were "being overly dramatic" about when they placed her in a neck-brace and took her in an ambulance, reports The Courier News of Bridgewater.

Montgomery Police Officer William Wilkes testified Monday during a hearing to determine whether statements the actress made to police after the June 2010 crash will be admissible at her trial, reports the paper.

Locane-Bovenizer is charged with aggravated manslaughter stemming from the death of 60-year-old Helene Seeman.

Prosecutors allege the 39-year-old actress was drunk and speeding when her vehicle struck one driven by Seeman's husband.

The court hearing will continue Tuesday with cross-examination.
