Video game legend Vince Zampella died in a California car wreck. The co-creator of the Call of Duty franchise was fifty-five. Electronic Arts, parent company of his studio Respawn Entertainment, confirmed his death.

The crash happened on a Los Angeles highway. A circulating video shows a Ferrari with two people inside swerving off the road after leaving a tunnel, hitting a barrier, flipping, and bursting into flames. Both occupants died at the scene. One passenger was thrown from the car while the driver was trapped inside. Officials have not stated if Zampella was driving. Bystanders tried to help, pulling one person from the wreckage.

His career took off after helping launch Call of Duty in 2003 with partners Jason West and Grant Collier. That series, partly inspired by World War II, sold over half a billion copies globally. Zampella also significantly influenced other huge games like Medal of Honor, Titanfall, and Apex Legends, helping shape modern online shooters. EA called his death an unimaginable loss for everyone whose work he touched. A Call of Duty movie is currently being made.
