Police told CBSLA that a second car pulled over after the crash, but its unclear how it may have been linked to the crashed Mercedes. No arrests have been made and no citations have yet been issued.
“People say he was going at a high rate of speed, I don’t know, but if you look at the skid marks to where the crash happened…definitely he was trying to slow down,” Joey Fittz, a friend of the victim, told CBSLA Friday.
Fittz said he worked with Lazarnejad at Legend Auto, an autobody shop in Van Nuys. When he heard of the crash, he came down to the scene to pay his respects.
“He had an amazing heart, he did everything for us, was our good friend, was a little brother to me,” Legend Auto owner Alex Petrosyan said of Lazarnejad Friday morning.
