New video shows the moment a driver crashed into a car on Pacific Coast Highway over the weekend, killing a Nobu Malibu chef who was sleeping inside the parked vehicle.
In video obtained by KTLA-TV, an SUV can be seen driving on the highway before crashing into another car. The force of the impact threw the struck car toward another parked vehicle.
The crash, which took place around 7 a.m. Saturday near Carbon Canyon Road in Malibu, killed one person, who the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department identified as 51-year-old Ryo Uchimiya.
Uchimiya had arrived at work early Saturday and was waiting in his car outside Nobu Malibu, an upscale Japanese restaurant known for its celebrity sightings, according to the sheriff’s department.
The driver of the SUV, who authorities said was a 16-year-old boy, appeared to have been speeding, sheriff’s Sgt. » said John Addington. No charges have been filed, but the investigation continues.
The boy has not been publicly identified by authorities.
“He’s a young kid,” an anonymous witness told KTLA. “His parents didn’t even come find him. He sat here for two hours by himself.”
The 21-mile stretch of PCH that runs through Malibu is one of the deadliest and most notorious roads in the state, averaging about four crash-related deaths per year over the past decade.
