Memorial sign in West L.A. honors Monique Muñoz, innocent victim killed in high-speed crash involving 17-year-old driver of Lamborghini
A memorial sign was unveiled Monday at the West Los Angeles intersection where a woman was killed when the teenage son of a multimillionaire businessman ran a red light in a Lamborghini SUV and slammed into her car at nearly 100 mph.
The teen was ordered in 2021 to serve seven to nine months in a juvenile camp after admitting a Juvenile Court petition charging him with vehicular manslaughter. The Department of Transportation describes its Roadside Memorial Sign program as a reminder to drivers to use caution while driving and to raise awareness of traffic-related fatalities.
During a juvenile court hearing for the teen in 2021, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Daniel Whitmore, who analyzed the event data recorder from the Lamborghini SUV after the crash, testified that the vehicle's speed was recorded at 86 mph five seconds before the impact, with the driver's foot "completely on the gas pedal 100%" and the vehicle's speed reaching 106 mph less than two seconds before the collision.
