WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA – A tragic collision in West Hollywood has left a family grieving and a local social media influencer facing serious charges. The crash, which occurred on October 10, took the life of an 83-year-old woman and severely injured her 82-year-old husband. The couple had been on a routine grocery trip when their SUV was struck by another vehicle, reportedly sending their car into a garage gate.
Greg Morris, the victim’s son, described his mother as a talented artist who cherished family gatherings and lived close to her loved ones. “She loved to sing, dance, and have nightly dinners with us,” he said, mourning her sudden departure.
Emergency responders had to use the Jaws of Life to free the elderly couple from the wreckage. Sadly, the woman did not survive the crash, while her husband is currently recovering from serious injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, a 33-year-old influencer, was treated for minor injuries and released from the hospital.
The influencer now faces charges of murder and reckless driving, raising questions about his role in the crash. Just weeks after the accident, he was hospitalized following a scooter incident on October 25, further complicating the legal proceedings. This delay has only added to the family’s distress, as they seek justice for their loss.
Greg Morris expressed frustration over the postponement of the legal process, stating, “His hospitalization has taken something from us again by delaying his accountability.” The family is demanding answers and hoping for closure as the case unfolds.
The influencer’s legal representative has not issued a comment on the charges, leaving many to speculate about the next steps in this high-profile case. If convicted, he could face a sentence ranging from 15 years to life.
As the community grapples with the aftermath, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of reckless driving. The family, still reeling from their loss, is determined to see justice served.
