In recent news stories, UFC Legend Randy Couture’s manager was reportedly involved in a fiery vehicle accident in Los Angeles this month.

Couture told a media firm that his manager, Sam Spira, and daughter were caught up in a horrible accident as Spira was driving his BMW X6M to a friend’s house. He stated that after they heard a loud bang while traveling about 10 miles per hour, his car speeded up all of a sudden. Spira tried to reduce his speed but in a short while, his engine malfunctioned and then emitted light and flames under the car.

Subsequently, as they were trying to escape from the car, the door on the passenger seat side where his daughter was sitting would not open. Therefore, he quickly grabbed his daughter and pulled her out through the driver’s seat side.

Shortly, firefighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire. However, Spira’s car was still totaled by the blaze, according to Couture.

Unfortunately, despite his repeated efforts trying to contact the BMW Corporation, his calls are simply being ignored. Until present, the car was not yet inspected to determine why its engine exploded.

Consequently, if the company failed to do something soon, he plans to sue it for damages.

Meanwhile, several personal injury lawyers said that Spira and his daughter should be grateful enough that the incident did not occur in a freeway because if it did, they could have been dead by now. Nevertheless, they claimed that Spira indeed has the right to sue the company following the incident. 

Pedestrian Dies after Being Dragged in Hit-and-run Car Crash

A pedestrian who was believed to be a victim of hit-and-run car crash and was dragged for about 25 feet died after sustaining severe injuries.

According to reports, the unidentified pedestrian who was possibly skateboarding at the time of the accident was found critically injured at around 3:48 in the morning last Friday near Golden Lantern and Marina Hills Drive in Laguna Niguel, California.

The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Initial investigations revealed that the pedestrian was hit by a car and was subsequently dragged for several feet while the suspect was trying to flee from the scene.

Meanwhile, authorities are currently conducting further investigation to figure out what exactly happened. They are also searching for possible witnesses who could provide any information regarding the identity of the suspected hit-and-run driver.

Meanwhile, deputies suspected that the vehicle that was abandoned a quarter mile away from the accident scene was the vehicle that struck and dragged the man. However, the driver of the said vehicle is not yet located or identified.

Hit-and-run is considered a criminal case in which a suspect can be punished by imprisonment. Other than that, some severe legal consequences also await the offender such as cancellation of driver’s license and payment of monetary fines.  Moreover, in cases of hit-and-run incidents, insurance companies often nullify the policy of the drivers involved.

In this event, it is a clear case of a hit-and-run car crash. Obviously, the driver of the vehicle who struck the pedestrian could face serious charges that could send him behind bars. As always, a Los Angeles car crash attorney reminds drivers that in such cases of car crashes, as much as possible, one should never leave the scene until authorities have arrived to avoid more serious charges.
