It seemed like just another jackass on a sports car
driving and crashing it, but authorities were in for a surprise as soon as they
start investigating. As the police checked on a sports car that slammed into a
truck along the Bel-Air are of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, they found out
it was 40-year-old furniture designer, Sami Hayek, the brother of popular
actress Salma that was behind the wheel of that 2006 Ford GT that lost control.
Further investigations revealed that the sports car
lost control, crossed into the west bound lanes of Sunset Boulevard before it
finally crashed with a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The Los Angeles Police Department
also found Hayek’s male passenger, 43-year-old Ian Cuttler Sala of New York,
died at the scene of the accident. A known photographer in the entertainment
industry, Cuttler won a Grammy Award for best art direction ffor the movie
“Johnny Cash: The Legend” box set music package. As for Sayek, he only suffered
several broken ribs as well as a laceration to his head.
On the other hand, 20-year-old Alvin Gomez of Los
Angeles suffered a broken foot and complained of body pain. He happened to be
the driver of the Tacoma that Hayek and his Cuttler collided head on to. Both
Hayek and Gomez were taken to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in
Westwood. Because of what happened to him, Gomez can actually file a personal injury claim against Hayek, a Los Angeles
car accident attorney said. This could help him pay for the damages caused by the accident to his
truck, pay for the hospital bills that he has incurred and will continue to
incur in the next few days to weeks, and as compensation for the pain
and suffering that the accident caused him and his family.
It is no secret that the $130,000 Ford GT sports
car Hayek was driving is powerful enough to reach a top speed of over 205 mph.
However, for now, the police department is still investigating as to what
really caused Hayek to lose control of the vehicle. That is why the LAPD is
encouraging everybody who has knowledge about the accident to please contact
the West Traffic Division Detectives, Officer Tirella or Officer Hutchings at
(213) 473-0234 to help resolve the case immediately.
