Michael Llamas has been named as the man killed in a severe crash involving a Lamborghini on Sunday morning in San Diego, California. A woman was also injured in the crash, according to reports.
Llamas, 33, founder of Medical Marijuana INC, was speeding at more than 100 mph, CBS 8 reported. He smashed into a palm tree early Sunday before the vehicle burst into flames.
A police officer was in the area as the crash took place and was there in a few moments, police said. But even then, it was likely too late.
A woman inside Llamas’ car was ejected and she was hospitalized, the CBS affiliate reported.
