[Regnum] Respawn Entertainment co-founder and studio head Vince Zampella, one of the creators of the Call of Duty franchise, died in a sports car accident in Southern California. This was reported on Monday, December 22, by NBC4.

"A vehicle traveling southbound left the road and crashed into a concrete barrier," the television channel reported, citing the California Highway Patrol.

Zampella, 55, was driving a Ferrari when it veered off the winding Angeles Crest Highway in the San Gabriel Mountains. Police say the collision caused a fire, and the driver was unable to escape. A passenger, ejected from the car, later died in the hospital.

Zampella previously served as CEO of Infinity Ward, the studio behind the Call of Duty series, and later headed Respawn Entertainment, the creators of games such as Titanfall and Apex Legends.
