Hastings, 33, was identified by matching fingerprints to prints the FBI had on file, Corral said.

It’s a LoudLabs News reporter’s car, with dashcam and police scanner, doing the turns; Hastings went straight ahead and crashed. Why the reporter made so may turns is a mystery.

That video car made 3 turns!!! HOW DID THEY KNOW WHICH WAY HE WENT???? The Video says it’s 2 minutes after he ran the red light and the video car happened to KNOW which TURNS to take??? Watch the video again, please.
You might want to ping the mods.

I question this video and still, as the tail lights do not look like those of a Mercedes C250.

He did NOT go straight ahead....they did 3 turns to come up on the crash site....????
He WASN'T following the speeding car. He heard the call on the scanner and diverted (Oh, $#!t) when he heard the call on the scanner.
I think it’s taken from the cross street.
here is the screen shot of the Youtube KTLA video
That picture isn’t possible

go to google street view for the address of the crash site
but it wasn’t necessary to make that many turns. The speeding car is not that far from the actual crash. Look at how many turns that car makes from where he started.
Hastings crashed on the same road he blew thru the red light on; the reporter made several turns to get there, on the edited tape. There’s is no way Hastings could have made any turns at 100mph.
Another poster Googled the reporter’s route from Google Earth, and named-off the streets/blvds. I can’t find that post, and don’t have the Google Earth software to reproduce it, but it’s on a thread, somewhere. He was familiar with the area.
HE WASNT FOLLOWING THE SPEEDING CAR!!!!!!!
The driver of the car with the camera pulled out of the lot he was in 2 min. 30 secs. AFTER the car ran the red light.
I forgot to qualify my statement; sorry.
“Why the reporter made so may turns is a mystery”, IF he was following the speeding Hastings car.
I can’t understand the scanner conversation, so you’re probably right if you can understand it.
Its very easy to happen. All you need to do is apply for any number of Federal or local governmental jobs or even for a handgun carry permit and youre likely to have your prints taken. Im 70 right now. The first time my prints were taken was when I was 18 and applied for a summer job on a railroad. Then there was the Army, then a carry permit, then another job. Having your prints taken in connection with a criminal matter is only one small way they are likely to be taken.
The camera car pulled out of the lot 2 mins after the car blew the light
You can hear the cross streets mentioned”...XXXX and Melrose....” then at about the :40 mark on the video a man’s voice reports the fire, the driver says...”Oh s***” and speeds toward the wreck.
