Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Vince Zampella, the video game developer who co-created "Call of Duty," was killed Sunday in a car crash at the age of 55.
Zampella, who was the head of Respawn Entertainment, died after the new red Ferrari he was driving crashed on Angeles Crest Highway in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Los Angeles.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the car veered off the road after exiting a tunnel and slammed into a concrete barrier before catching fire. A passenger was ejected and was also killed.
"The passenger was ejected from the vehicle, and the driver remained trapped," according to the CHP. "Both parties succumbed to their injuries."
"We're heartbroken by the passing of our founder and dear friend Vince Zampella," Respawn wrote Monday in a post on X.
