A 51-year-old employee of Nobu Malibu restaurant was fatally injured in a parked car Saturday morning when a Range Rover slammed into it on Pacific Coast Highway, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department identified the victim as Ryo Uchimiya and said he had arrived at work early Saturday and was waiting in his car outside the restaurant, a high-end Japanese eatery known for celebrity sightings.<\/p>\n
The Range Rover, driven by a 16-year-old boy, struck Uchimiya\u2019s car around 6:50 a.m., said Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department Sgt. John Addington.<\/p>\n
He said it appeared the boy had been speeding. No charges had been filed but an investigation was underway. There were no other injuries reported. <\/p>\n
The 21-mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway that runs through Malibu is one of the state\u2019s deadliest and most notorious roads, with an average of about four crash-related fatalities per year over the last decade.<\/p>\n
In October 2023, authorities say, a 24-year-old Malibu man driving a BMW at an estimated 104 miles per hour in a 45-mph zone struck three parked cars, which hit and fatally injured four Alpha Phi sorority sisters from Pepperdine University.<\/p>\n
The driver, Fraser Bohm, has been charged with murder, and the incident prompted plans for increased safety measures, such as cameras and increased fines for speeding. <\/p>\n
Construction zones proliferated in the area after the January 2025 fires that destroyed local homes and businesses, resulting in reduced speed limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 51-year-old employee of Nobu Malibu restaurant was fatally injured in a parked car Saturday morning when a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2015,6577,7,9,8,283,48468,350,189536,6246,15692,4456,21803,189539,593,189538,189537,25172],"class_list":["post-484472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-16-year-old-boy","tag-authority","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-car","tag-construction-zone","tag-crash","tag-deadly-stretch","tag-department","tag-fine","tag-incident","tag-los-angeles-county-sheriff","tag-nobu-employee","tag-pacific-coast-highway","tag-range-rover","tag-ryo-uchimiya","tag-speeding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
