Summary

Ryo Uchimiya, a 51-year-old chef at Nobu Malibu, was killed on Saturday morning around 7 a.m. when a 16-year-old driver in a dark-colored Range Rover SUV struck his parked car on Pacific Coast Highway in the 22600 block near Malibu, California. Uchimiya was sleeping in his vehicle at the time. Surveillance video shows the Range Rover plowing into Uchimiya's car and forcing it into another parked vehicle. The teenage driver was traveling at least 50 mph and swerved across the fog line before striking the parked vehicle. The impact created a chain-reaction crash involving at least two other parked vehicles. Uchimiya died from multiple blunt force injuries; the Los Angeles County medical examiner ruled the manner of death an accident. The teenage driver survived the crash and was not driving under the influence. A witness observed the teenage driver appearing shocked and confused after the collision. The Range Rover is leased to English composer Harry Gregson-Williams. The cause of the driver's swerve remains unclear. No charges have been filed against the driver as of the latest reports, and the investigation is ongoing.
