...single vehicle accident into tree - aka driver drunk/stoned/texting...

High rate of speed and starting to spin out indicates passed out or incapacitated while leaning on the accelerator.

High-profile young guy in classy LA neighborhood at 4 am: Somebody was with him partying and they won't keep quiet for long.

Front wheel drive. Guy hit a tree on the right hand side of the road, and engine was torn off it's mounts, vehicle went airborne, leaving engine 200 ft behind impact area. Impacted into a median strip palm tree hitting it apparently from the rear end, pivoting front driver side position to approximately 9 o'clock position relative to original direction of travel.

So the car hit, engine dropped out, car went air borne and swiveled in the air impacting on the palm tree in the center of the trunk (where the gas tank is under). Fuel pump and computer still attached, fuel injection lines not attached, fuel everywhere, electrical lines arcing (car battery is in the trunk). Result, airborne, possibly caught fire as it did so and impacted the tree. High rate of speed > 100 mph from timing of red light video tape.
