Sad news as the ‘Call of Duty’ creator Vince Zampella has died in a fatal car crash.
The news hit hard and fast. Vince Zampella. The man behind ‘Call of Duty’. A name tied to late nights, headsets, and friendships built in virtual warzones. And suddenly, he is no more. Reports say Zampella crashed his Ferrari at top speed and died.
People froze when they saw the wild crash footage.
A Ferrari is not just a car. It is speed. Power. Noise. A machine that demands respect. When something goes wrong at that level, it is terrifying.

RIP Vince Zampella!
In the footage, obtained by TMZ, you see a red Ferrari come zooming out of a tunnel on the Angeles Crest Highway in Altadena, CA … the sports car skids and crashes into the concrete barriers between the edge of the road and the San Gabriel Mountains.
Within a matter of seconds, a fireball erupts among the mangled car wreck … and folks rush over and pull a body from the wreckage.
The California Highway Patrol says there were two people in the car when it crashed … a passenger who was ejected, and Vince, who they say was trapped. While we’re not showing it, the video does show bystanders pulling the passenger away from the burning vehicle.
Look at the pavement … there are tire and skid marks all over the road … it’s known to be a stretch of highway where people do all sorts of driving stunts.
If there is any lesson here, it is a quiet one. Life is fragile. Speed is thrilling, but unforgiving. And no matter how powerful the engine is, the most important thing is making it home alive.
Right now, people are not thinking about Call of Duty. They are thinking about Vince. The man. The human. And mourning the loss of a game genius.
