Shortly before 2 a.m.
Sunday, Rivera was riding in a northbound Lamborghini that veered off North Harbor Drive at high speed, according to police. The luxury sports car crashed into a palm tree south of West Broadway, struck an ornamental roadside anchor and became engulfed in flames.
Emergency crews found Rivera lying in the street near the burning wreckage.
The driver, year-old Michael Llamas of San Diego, died in the driver’s seat of the charred and mangled car.
