According to the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic Division, a 2020 McLaren 600LT was traveling "at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control."
"Driver then ran off the road and collided with a stop sign and a tree on the northeast corner of Huston Street and Carpenter Avenue," the LAPD press statement said. "The driver of the McLaren exited the vehicle and attempted to leave the scene but was stopped by citizens who came to render aid. No other vehicles were involved in the collision."
It is alleged that Silva was the driver of the vehicle, while La Barrie is believed to be the passenger, TMZ reports.
Silva is being held at the LAPD Valley Jail in Van Nuys on $200,000 bail, according to arrest records obtained by ET.
The accident, which occurred Sunday, was also La Barrie's 25th birthday. His brother, Jarrad La Barrie, shared the news in a message posted to Instagram.

How do they get a murder charge out of that?
Fleeing the scene?
“...vehicular manslaughter (which is different from murder)...”

BINGO — Twenty something drunk males.
Ink Master and You Tube Star?! And a McLaren?!?!?!
Fleeing the scene? Where did he think he was going, the Amazon Jungle? Did he really think he could get away?
Um, was the passenger drunk as well?
I understand the State’s need to prosecute the drunk driver, especially since he tried to flee the scene of the accident.
However..... the passenger willingly got into the vehicle with the drunk driver.
Willingly playing Russian Roulette did not work out well for the passenger.
Paul Walker died in a similar manner, except his driver wasn’t drunk.
Too bad he’s not an illegal, he’d already be out driving drunk again...
Sadly, another Coronavirus death.
I thought California had done away with bail for the time being, because it was "discriminatory" towards the illegal invaders.
