Sakura was killed March 8 when he lost control of his father’s Chevrolet Corvette while apparently speeding on Crenshaw Boulevard near Skypark Drive in Torrance and crashed into two other cars. His funeral was held today at Rolling Hills United Methodist Church. Burial followed at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Sakura’s girlfriend and another motorist were seriously injured in the crash.
Torrance police, meanwhile, have submitted their reports on the crash to the California Highway Patrol’s Major Accident Investigation Team for specialized work to determine how fast Sakura was going when he lost control.
Investigators also are continuing to conduct interviews to determine if Sakura was racing, Torrance police officer Dave Crespin said.
In addition to the Sakura broadcast, here’s the “Live from 205” report on the death of Rancho Palos Verdes resident Randal Simmons, an LAPD SWAT officer killed last month. Livefrom205/Simmons
