  • Surveillance footage obtained by KTLA 5 shows a Range Rover SUV slam into the back of a stationary car at around 6am, with the force of the impact pushing the struck car into another parked vehicle.
  • ​Addington informed The Times that the driver is 16 years old and it appears he was speeding at the time of the crash.
  • Tributes including origami cranes and flowers have been left at a memorial near the crash site for the father-of-two.
