The 40-year-old actress's younger brother Sami Hayek was rushed to an LA hospital after suffering broken ribs and a head laceration during the crash, which took place in February.
An unidentified 43-year-old man passed away at the scene, after Sami reportedly lost control of his car and swerved to avoid an oncoming truck on Sunset Boulevard.
Police have now launched an investigation, searching Sami's car for an RCM device to confirm eyewitness claims that he was speeding at the time of the accident.
An official search warrant obtained by TMZ reveals that cops are could bring charges of felony vehicular manslaughter against Sami depending on the results of the investigation.
The car Sami was driving was apparently owned by Salma Hayek and her husband, which could also implicate them should the victim's family file a suit.
Hayek, who has not commented on the investigation, recently signed on to star in Seth Rogen's upcoming comedy Sausage Party .
