Nobu chef killed after teen driver crashes into parked car in California

Ryo Uchimiya, a 51-year-old sushi chef at Nobu Malibu in California, was killed in a traffic accident involving a 16-year-old driver. Uchimiya had been working at the restaurant for 25 years and was parked along the curb, napping in his car before starting his shift on Saturday morning. At approximately 6:50 a.m., the teenager drove his Range Rover into the rear of Uchimiya's parked sedan. According to investigators, the teenager did not appear to be under the influence but may not have had a valid driver's license. The crash caused a chain reaction, pushing Uchimiya's car into two other vehicles. Uchimiya died from multiple blunt force injuries, and the cause of death was ruled an accident. Witnesses described the teenager as confused and unaccompanied by his parents after the crash. The area where the incident occurred, Pacific Coast Highway, has previously been flagged as dangerous due to frequent speeding incidents. Local authorities had declared a state of emergency in November 2023 after a similar fatal crash on the same road.
