Although Chevy Chase Drive in Glendale, California, is not a particularly accident-prone zone, traffic authorities have had some problems with speeding cars in the past. To educate drivers about the hazards of speeding and the high risks of accidents, personal injury and death involved, local police have established ongoing education programs to alert drivers to put safety and not speed first. Arman Ayrman, it seems, either missed these programs, or wasn't paying a whole lot of attention.

On Monday, Ayrman a resident of Pasadena, California was headed west on Chevy Chase Drive, and by all initial reports was way over the speed limit. Near Boynton Street, Glendale, his black Mercedes hit a parked van, and then careened into incoming traffic, crashing headlong into a silver Honda Accord. The impact of the crash was tremendous, according to witnesses, and Ayrman suffered some non life threatening injuries. He fared better than the driver of the Accord who had to be extricated from the mangled wreckage. He was immediately rushed to the trauma center at Los Angeles County - USC Medical Center with serious head injuries.

According to Glendale, California police, a third car, a BMW was also involved in the accident. Both cars were speeding when the Mercedes brushed against the parked van, and went veering right into the Honda Accord.

Close to 36% of all car accident fatalities in California can be traced to driving over the speed limit. The reason why so many fatalities are caused when a speeding car is involved is based on simple physics. There is a greater amount of energy dissipated in a high speed car crash and consequently a higher risk of injury or death.
