In a recent, tragic incident near Anaheim’s 91 Freeway, a Lamborghini was involved in a rollover crash, which resulted in the arrest of a 25-year-old man suspected of driving under the influence. The Anaheim police were quick to respond to the incident, shedding light on the events that unfolded that Friday evening.
The fateful incident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 20th. Shivam Patel, a Yorba Linda resident, was at the wheel, navigating his way along Santa Ana Canyon Road, east of Lakeview Avenue. What happened next sent shockwaves through the community.
According to Anaheim Sgt. Jon McClintock, Patel lost control of the high-performance sports car, leading to a devastating rollover crash. The Lamborghini’s incredible speed and power turned into a deadly combination on that ill-fated evening.
Tragically, the consequences of the crash were severe. A male passenger in his forties lost his life in the accident, with his identity remaining undisclosed as of Monday. The crash proved fatal, and the passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving behind a grieving family and a community in shock.
In the aftermath of the crash, Shivam Patel was transported to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries. However, his legal troubles were far from over. As the investigation unfolded, the suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) hung heavy over Patel. Anaheim Sgt. Jon McClintock confirmed that Patel was subsequently arrested on suspicion of felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter, making the already tragic incident even more heart-wrenching.
This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the potential consequences of impaired driving and the importance of adhering to safety regulations. The loss of a life due to suspected DUI leaves a lasting impact on families, communities, and underscores the need for vigilance and responsibility when behind the wheel.
