A Huntington Beach woman who was more than 16 weeks pregnant and who police said was injured in a hit-and-run crash with mixed martial artist Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on the 55 Freeway two weeks ago has had a miscarriage, her fiance said Friday.
Holli Griggs, 38, was driving her 2007 Cadillac Escalade in the left lane on the southbound 55 Freeway just south of Bay Street on July 15 when Jackson’s gray-and-green pick-up truck sideswiped her as he drove along the median lane at about 45 mph, California Highway Patrol officials said.
Prosecutors have yet to file charges against Jackson, a former light heavyweight champion for the Ultimate Fighting Championship who remains free on $25,000 bail. Prosecutors would not comment on any potential charges due to Griggs’ miscarriage.
“Our office will make sure we take as much time as necessary to make a proper filing decision and including all evidence and medical information to make sure any charges that are filed are fair and accurate,” Dist. Atty. spokeswoman Farrah Emami said.
Efforts to reach Jackson and his representatives have been unsuccessful since he was arrested.
Griggs was unavailable for comment Friday. Her fiance, Bill Krebs, said doctors were immediately concerned when they noticed a significant loss of fluid in Griggs’ womb after the accident. Days before the crash, the couple had visited the doctor for an ultrasound, and Griggs was told she “had enough fluid for three babies,” Krebs said. She was pregnant with a boy.
Griggs was sent to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian after the accident, CHP officials said. Krebs said he and Griggs were then sent to pregnancy specialists at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Anaheim, where doctors noticed the problem.
The couple have retained an attorney but have yet to take legal action against Jackson.
“No amount of money will bring back my son,” Krebs said outside his home Thursday.
Jackson was arrested July 15 after Costa Mesa police say they chased him from 18th Street and Newport Boulevard, where he was weaving through traffic with a flat tire while talking on the phone all the way to 18th Street on Balboa Boulevard in Newport Beach.
Jackson ran several red lights, drove on concrete islands narrowly missing pedestrians, headed into oncoming traffic and hit another car, police said. Officers did not test Jackson for drugs or alcohol because he did not appear to be under the influence, Sgt. Bryan Glass said. He was released that night on bail.
The next day, Jackson was taken from his Irvine home and hospitalized for observation after police deemed he was a danger to himself and others. Jackson was upset by Forrest Griffin in a light heavyweight title bout in Las Vegas July 5.
This could definitely mean some jail time for Rampage. If he sticks with his mental breakdown defense, he may end up with a mandatory stay in a mental hospital.

The guys speeding, hits a pregnant womans car, does a runner even though he has his face on the side of his truck yeah like we dont know its you...yet you lot feel sorry for him? Send him to jail its what he deserves
wow all this cause he lost the title... GO FORREST
Forrest had nothing to do with it. Neither did losing the title. Get your facts straight before running your mouth. In fact, just stick to pro wrestling, kid.
I don't condone what he did, but he's a close personal friend, and the guy was going through some rough times, before & after his title fight with Griffin. Personal issues at home and at work. His own manager was robbing the guy. Blind, no less. He was out of the octagon for almost a year, and not just because of an injury.
Not only celeb's get into these, you know? Normal people do too. However, it's celeb's and not normal people who get's plastered all over the internet and tv when something like this happens. And it's the internet, the misformed, most anyway, who sets judgement upon them, even if they have no clue whatsoever. Then again, that's the internet for you.
I do truly feel sorry for the woman, and the loss of her unborn child. But it was an accident, and not premeditated. Quintin Jackson didn't purposely seek out the woman in attempts to kill her, or anyone.

I agree with everything you said, except this. Or more to the point I agree with this, but that's not what man-slaughter is. Man-slaughter is causing the death of another person whether by accident or in self defence when it could've been avoided.
Rampage, however isn't even guilty of that. It was proven in a court of law, and by doctors that the mis-carriage had nothing to do with this inccident.
People on the internet like to voice their opinions, especially those who are mis-informed. It's a fact of life. Rampage was obviously troubled, and what happened to the woman was deeply sad, but it was entirely seperate from Quinton Jackson.
