That isn't narrowing it down much. He could have been diving anywhere between 50 and 150 based on this.

I mean, I was ticketed for being 2 2/3 times over the speed limit once and I was just doing 40 or so.

If the speed limit was 25, he could've been going between 50-75 mph. If the speed limit was 50 he could've been going between 100-150 mph. I'm guessing these estimates are based on the damage and makeup of the accident which seems like a reasonable range to me.

Sad, anyway.

I actually remember her from back in the day when I watched the show.

Very sad news, R.I.P.

An LAPD spokesman told KTLA that the vehicle was being driven “well in excess” of the posted speed limit, which drops from 35 mph to 30 mph in the area because of a sharp but gradual turn on Ventura Boulevard (Butler was driving west, police said).

The spokesman said investigators estimate the car was moving at a speed of 60 mph to 90 mph at the time of the crash.
