Exclusive: Who Killed Michael Hastings? [1]

Early in the morning on June 18, a brand new Mercedes C250 coupe was driving through the Melrose intersection on Highland Avenue in Hollywood when suddenly, out of nowhere, it sped up. According to an eye-witness, the car accelerated rapidly, bounced several times then fishtailed out of control before it slammed into a palm tree and burst into flames, ejecting its engine [2] some 200 feet away.

A witness, Jose Rubalcalva, whose house stood adjacent to the crash, told Ana Kasparian [3] of The Young Turks news network that no one could approach the burning car because it kept exploding [4]. In a simulated full-frontal crash [5] of a 2013 C250 coupe, the car doesn’t explode on impact nor does it launch its engine 200 feet.
