Ryo Uchimiya, a 51-year-old longtime chef at the famous Nobu Malibu restaurant, was killed early Saturday morning when a teenager driving a Range Rover SUV struck his parked vehicle on Pacific Coast Highway near Carbon Canyon Road in Malibu. The teenager, who was reportedly speeding, veered across the fog line and hit Uchimiya's car while he slept inside, preparing for an early work shift at Nobu. This collision caused a chain reaction that involved three vehicles. Authorities have not filed charges against the teen driver as of Sunday morning, but they are still investigating the incident. Surveillance footage shows the violent impact and subsequent crashes. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Uchimiya’s death an accident due to multiple blunt force injuries.
