Michael Hastings: New Surveillance Video Shows Fiery Crash

[zappaman]

A new video shows the final moments before journalist Michael Hastings' Mercedes Benz exploded into flames -- with the grainy footage revealing the car's fiery end on Highland Avenue June 19.

The video was obtained from Weekly contributor Michael Krikorian, whose girlfriend, Nancy Silverton, owns Pizzeria Mozza, which is located at Melrose and Highland just a few hundred feet from the site of the fatal crash.

Hastings' family has told Rolling Stone that they do not believe he was assassinated. "I don't believe it's a conspiracy," his brother Jeff Hastings said. "There's no part of me that's troubled by that."

The toxicology report will be helpful.
