Apple worker, 38, accused of killing girl, 2, in 100 mph horror crash outside tech giant’s HQ
Apple employee Eric Chen Su, 38, has been charged with murder after allegedly driving at nearly 100 mph and crashing into a stopped car near Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino. The collision killed Riley Howard, aged two, and critically injured her babysitter; prosecutors say the alleged speed supports the murder charge.
The crash happened last Friday on Tantau Avenue, where the struck vehicle was mangled and caught fire. Bystanders pulled Riley and the babysitter to safety, and both were taken to hospital, where Riley later died. Prosecutors say Su was travelling at four times the speed limit and that his car’s speedometer appeared frozen at 100 mph; he has not entered a plea, and his next hearing is scheduled for 30 November.
