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

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

Witnesses saw the nanny being dragged for 20 feet before she was eventually freed from under the car. 

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

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

Calito was last pictured with the couple and their young son on January 11 in Los Angeles. 

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

Just a week ago, McPhee broke the devastating news and said in a statement that she would be skipping the performances after the ‘horrible tragedy in the family.’

It added: ‘Dearest Jakarta fans, it’s with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run. 

‘David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us needs to get back home to our family. 

‘Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love Katharine.’ 

DailyMail.com has reached out to McPhee for a comment on the tragedy, but did not immediately receive a response. 

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