As I suspected, this crash happened on the Angeles Crest Highway.

"Multiple media outlets reported that Vince Zampella was in a Ferrari that hit a concrete barrier while driving on Angeles Crest Highway and subsequently caught fire. The California Highway Patrol, in a statement to KTLA, was only able to confirm the incident took place on Sunday at 12:43 p.m. at mile marker 62 on Angeles Crest Highway. "
Angeles Crest is a windy mountain road (one lane in each direction) popular with motorcycle riders and car enthusiasts out for a drive. Elevation goes up to 6000ft. You'll also get hard core cyclists doing the hills as well. This is the main road for access into the Angeles National Forest. There have been sections that have been washed out and repaired over the years. They finally reopened the entire stretch (there was a section out that cut LA off from the high desert) earlier this year:

"A roughly 10-mile stretch of Angeles Crest Highway, which runs roughly east-west through the national forest for over 60 miles from the wealthy suburb of La Cañada Flintridge to the small mountain town of Wrightwood, reopened with little notice on Friday after being closed for several years. Before the surprise return on Friday, the portion of the two-lane highway had been closed since the winter of 2022-2023, when “relentless storms” collapsed roadways, caused rockslides and damaged retaining walls, according to Caltrans.
Angeles Crest Highway (also known as State Route 2) connects Interstate 210 with State Route 138, providing access to ski areas, hiking trails and picnic areas along the way. But for the past few years, areas along the closed stretch of roadway were inaccessible, and Southern California residents were required to drive in a giant circle along busy urban and suburban freeways to reach recreational opportunities near Wrightwood on the other side of the closure.

It's the kind of death you expect to see in Grand Theft Auto.
