Newly unearthed footage captured on an
Los Angeles restaurant’s surveillance camera allegedly shows the final
moments before journalist Michael Hastings’ vehicle burst into flames on impact.
Hastings was killed after his Mercedes
Benz smashed into a tree on Highland Avenue on June 19. His vehicle was
traveling at extremely high speeds before the vehicle hit the tree and
was immediately engulfed in flames.
The video was reportedly captured by
one of the surveillance cameras at Pizzeria Mozza, a well-known pizza
restaurant located just a few hundred feet from the site of the crash.
The owner of the restaurant, Nancy Silverton, gave the footage to police
the day after the accident, according to LA Weekly.
In the unsettling video, Hastings’
vehicle is allegedly seen speeding down the road seconds before the car
wrecked and went up in flames. Watch below (Warning: Video may be disturbing to some viewers):
A number of questions remain unanswered
in the death of Michael Hastings. Many are hoping that autopsy and
toxicology test results will help answer some of those questions.
However, more than a month later, the L.A. County coroner’s office has
not provided an official cause of death or the results of a toxicology
test.
The lack of answers surrounding the
circumstances of the Hastings accident has allowed conspiracy theories
to thrive on the Internet. The LAPD said they found no signs of foul play as the coroner continues to investigate.
Hastings, who was just 33-years-old, is
best known for his Rolling Stone profile on Gen. Stanley McChrystal,
which ultimately forced his resignation.
