Witnesses say a blue Ford F150 was seen driving recklessly just before the accident and was also seen speeding away after the accident.
A spokesperson for the Santa Barbaria Police Dept.told reporters that Mr. Ferrigno's vehicle rolled several times killing him instantly. They did not have a cause of the accident as of yet.
“We are investigating the cause of the accident and reports of a Ford pick-up truck that may have been involved. At this time we cannot determine a cause though alcohol does not seem to be a factor,” said police chief Rubio Torres.
The vehicle was believed to have been traveling at approximately 60 miles per hour in a 55mph zone at the time of the accident.
Witnesses have stated that Ferrigno's car was being tailgated for a few miles by the Ford truck and at one point passed Ferrigno and slammed on the brakes causing Ferrigno's vehicle to flip several times after hitting a center lane divider.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident or those who may have a better description of the truck reportedly involved to please contact the police.
