"Call of Duty" video game creator Vincent Zampella reportedly died in a car wreck on a mountainous stretch of highway near Los Angeles this weekend.
The California Highway Patrol says the single-car crash was reported around 12:45 PM Sunday afternoon near mile marker 62 on the Angeles Crest Highway in Altadena.
Two people were involved in the crash, according to the CHP, with one of the victims pronounced dead at the scene. NBC Los Angeles was the first to report that person was Vincent.
The video game developer was reportedly driving the car and was heading south when the car veered off the road and struck a concrete barrier ... igniting a fire.
Vincent was reportedly stuck inside the driver's seat as the car burned ... the passenger was ejected and later died at a hospital. No word on the passenger's identity.
It's unclear what caused the crash.

MoG may have had a CS server but I only did COD. I did play BF quite a bit before I gave it all up. Now my desktop does not recognize my video card and I have no way to test whether it is the card or the motherboard.
I probably need to move to a console anyway. I need to practice the dexterity.
I got fed up with the cheats on teams we faced- couldn’t stand the cheating- and i got out and into online racing instead- but eventually the ‘stress’ got to me, causing anxiety- got out of it all and within a few weeks, anxiety disappeared- I rarely game now- and when i do it’s against the bots- no pressure that way- way more fun- as long as the bots are good- but really don’t game anymore- (I quit now that i have a crankin computer lol- )
MoG had a zero tolerance policy with cheats, abuse and cursing. I play some strategy games like Harpoon and The Operational Art of War but I am waiting for the next good game. I check Matrix all the time for something good.
