Kirk Daly, a 36-year-old attorney, was killed when his Buick Opel collided with some metal fence on the Harbor Freeway in Los Angeles. He was traveling at a speed between 50 and 70 mph. After the collision, the car spun and the driver's door flew open. Daly was ejected from the car and sustained fatal head injuries.
