SAN DIEGO – A driver was killed and a female passenger injured after a high-speed crash early Saturday morning in downtown San Diego.

According to Harbor Police, at about 2 a.m. the driver of a vehicle, described by witnesses as a Lamborghini, was speeding north near the 900 block of North Harbor Drive when the car left the roadway, hit a palm tree and became engulfed in flames. A female passenger was ejected into the street.

A witness who did not want to show his face on camera told FOX 5 he made eye contact with the driver at a stop light just moments before he sped away and then burst into flames. Arial Batara said he’s shaken after witnessing that Lamborghini slam into a palm tree and burst into flames.

“Last person to see him alive because we had eye contact at the stoplight… when we stopped and it’s the only time he stopped,” said Batara. “A lime green Lamborghini flying 180, 200 miles an hour right by you and it’s like pretty much nothing you can do. You see somebody burning alive and moving and you can’t do anything. Just basically you’re just watching just basically die slowly it’s like a candle melting you can’t do a darn thing about it.”



A Harbor Police officer who was near the scene at the time of the crash assisted the injured passenger until an ambulance arrived and transported her to a hospital. Her condition is not known.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

An attorney and a number of friends of the victim and driver of the car stopped by the crash scene and identified him as medical marijuana business man 33-year-old Mike Llamas of San Diego.

“Never take life for granted man, that’s all. Life is short,” said Batara.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

A Mexican beauty queen who was thrown from a high-speed Lamborghini crash in downtown San Diego that killed the driver—a wealthy medical marijuana entrepreneur who was scheduled to be sentenced in a $10 million mortgage fraud case next month—has also died from her injuries, according to Fox 5 San Diego.

According to witnesses, 33-year-old Michael Llamas was driving the lime green 2016 Lamborghini Aventador roadster at incredibly high speeds through downtown San Diego early Sunday morning when he lost control of the car at over 100 mph and struck a decorative roadside anchor and palm tree. His passenger, 26-year-old Stephanie Rivera Camarena, was thrown from the flaming wreck and severely injured; Llamas was trapped in the driver's seat and reportedly burned to death.

Stephanie Rivera Camarena - a really fine piece of ass, sadly died in the crash.  This is what happens when you mix with the wrong person.

Camarena, a Mexican national and a former Miss Earth Baja California in 2015, was in a coma for several days before succumbing to her injuries and passing away on Wednesday. The international Miss Earth pageant seeks to highlight environmental and social issues, and director Joaquin Meza told the Los Angeles Times that Camarena was a champion of several causes, including breast cancer.  A Facebook post on the Baja pageant's page called her "a queen in every sense of the word."

Michael Llamas rocketed to relative fame and fortune when he founded Medical Marijuana, Inc. in 2009, which bills itself as the first publicly-traded company to sell medicinal products derived from cannabis and hemp oil. Though the company still exists, Llamas was forced out as CEO in 2012 after he was indicted for his involvement in a $10 million mortgage fraud scheme. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud last August, and was scheduled to be sentenced on December 5. He faced up to six years in prison.

Llamas' attorney Michael Pancer told NBC 7 that his client "never appeared depressed or suicidal about his upcoming sentencing," and authorities still aren't sure whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash

Driver in Fiery Lamborghini Crash Was Awaiting Sentence on Fraud Charges
Michael Llamas was also a defendant in at least four civil cases involving the medical marijuana business

A controversial medical marijuana businessman who died in the explosive crash of his late model Lamborghini was awaiting sentencing on fraud charges.

The county Medical Examiner confirmed that Michael Llamas died at the wheel of his speeding sports car on North Harbor Drive not far from San Diego International Airport.


Llamas’s 2016 Lamborghini hit a curb, a palm tree, and an ornamental anchor, before bursting into flames just before 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 5.

A female passenger was thrown from the car and injured.

Court documents obtained by NBC 7 confirm that Llamas pleaded guilty to wire fraud and another felony, and was due to be sentenced December 5, in federal court in Sacramento.

That case involved the filing of falsified documents and financial misdealings in a real estate sale.

Court records confirm that Llamas was also a defendant in at least four civil cases involving the medical marijuana business.

Llamas’s attorney in the federal fraud case told NBC 7 that Llamas “accomplished a number business successes relating to the hemp industry and medical uses of hemp and oil derived from hemp products.” Attorney Michael Pancer said that while preparing for Llamas’ sentencing hearing, his firm gathered numerous testimonials from persons who believe the products he has distributed were lifesaving and greatly reduced symptoms from many pain-causing and debilitating diseases and injuries.”


Pancer said he had hoped Llamas would get probation, instead of up to six years in federal prison, at his December 5th sentencing.

His attorneys told NBC 7 that Llamas never appeared depressed or suicidal about his upcoming sentencing, and was looking forward to life and business after serving what they predicted would be probation or a brief prison sentence.

Another lawyer who represented Llamas in the federal case said his client helped patients in need of pain relief around the world, often at his own expense.

"He was one person who was the complete opposite of selfish," said attorney Guadalupe Valencia, who knew Llamas for five years and considered him a friend.

"He always talked about helping other people. That’s a lot of what his life was about. Like any other person involved in a big business, there’s always going to be some types of lawsuits, but he was a really reformed, really good young man," Valencia said.
