Driver Killed After Car Splits in Half in Fiery Crash on Victory Blvd in Encino

June 20, 2025 – Encino, CA — A deadly solo-vehicle crash early Thursday morning left one driver dead after a black sedan slammed into a street barrier and split in half, igniting a fiery wreck that rocked a residential neighborhood. The crash occurred around 2:00 a.m. in the 17500 block of West Victory Boulevard, just east of White Oak Avenue. According to first responders, the force of the impact caused the vehicle to shear in two. The driver was ejected and was found deceased next to the burning remains of the car. Surveillance footage captured from a nearby home’s Ring camera reportedly shows a man—unidentified and unfamiliar to residents—approaching a home to ask for help before fleeing the area. Authorities are investigating whether this individual may have been involved in a possible street race or was connected to the crash in another capacity.
