Actor Luke Wilson and golfer Bill Haas have been involved in a fiery pile-up in LA which left one person dead.
Haas, 35, was ‘seriously injured’ in the crash, according to KTLA, while Legally Blonde star Wilson, 46, is believed to have escaped unharmed.
The crash involved a Ferrari and a BMW in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood at 6.31pm on Tuesday evening (2.31am GMT on Wednesday), according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The unnamed driver of the Ferrari, in which 35-year-old Haas was travelling, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Four cars were involved in the collision. The Ferrari is believed to have clipped a BMW before flipping multiple times. Luke Wilson’s Toyota SUV was side-swiped by the Ferarri as it came off the road and another vehicle suffered minor damage.
Haas and the unnamed female victim were reported to have been ‘seriously injured at the scene’ but police later said the pro-golfer, who is ranked 67 in the world, is expected to survive. Haas’s relatives later said he suffered leg injuries but miraculously escaped without any broken bones.
Detective Jeff Fischer of the LAPD told local television station KTLA: ‘I can confirm Luke Wilson was driving the vehicle, the Toyota FJ that was travelling northbound. His vehicle just basically got clipped by the Ferrari.
‘Mr Bill Haas was the passenger in the Ferrari. Apparently, from what I was told, he’s doing OK too.’
