CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA — A violent, high-speed crash on the southbound Mulholland Highway left two men dead over the weekend after their vehicle careened out of control and overturned.

The catastrophic wreck occurred just south of Dry Canyon Cold Creek Road. The force of the impact completely decimated the vehicle and sent shockwaves through the local community, highlighting the ongoing dangers of excessive speed on the scenic but notoriously winding corridor.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the incident unfolded at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2026. The driver, identified as Omri Moalem, and his passenger, Yanir Ruham, were traveling at a high rate of speed in a gray, two-door Porsche convertible.

As the sports car navigated the southbound lanes, Moalem lost control of the vehicle. The Porsche veered off the asphalt and into a destructive chain-reaction collision, striking a roadside fire hydrant, a heavy iron fence, and a tree.

The momentum of the high-speed impact caused the vehicle to flip entirely, coming to a rest upside down.

First responders rushed to the scene after receiving emergency calls, but the sheer severity of the collision left no opportunity for life-saving interventions. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office later confirmed that both Moalem and Ruham succumbed to massive blunt-force trauma sustained during the crash. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

"The wreckage was unrecognizable," noted one local commuter who passed by the sealed-off site. "It serves as a grim reminder of how unforgiving these canyon roads can be when speed is involved."

Mulholland Highway has long held a dual reputation. While its sweeping vistas and sharp curves attract automotive enthusiasts, motorcyclists, and luxury sports car drivers from across Southern California, it remains a highly hazardous stretch of road when safety limits are ignored.

Law enforcement officials closed down the immediate vicinity of the crash for several hours to conduct a thorough scene reconstruction and clear the debris. The investigation into the exact mechanics of the crash is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed the Porsche prior to the collision to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
