Authorities said vehicle data showed 26-year-old Michael Joseph Genao was driving a Tesla Model 3 at 132 mph about two seconds before the crash.

According to an arrest warrant, Genao, a resident of the nearby Ojus area, was attempting to change lanes when he struck the Jeep at 106 miles per hour, ejecting the two occupants, one of whom died.

The arrest warrant does not identify the victims.

Genao was charged with reckless vehicular homicide and was being held late Friday morning at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on $100,000 bond.
