Malibu's Fraser Bohm, the 22 year old driver accused of mowing down and killing four sorority sisters in the horrific 2023 Pacific Coast Highway car crash pleaded not guilty as he appeared in court with his new high-profile celebrity defense attorney, Alan Jackson.
Bohm was driving his BMW at speeds up to 104 mph in a 45 mph zone when he lost control of the vehicle and collided with several parked cars and killing Niamh Rolston, Asha Weir, Deslyn Williams, and Peyton Stewart, all seniors and members of Alpha Phi sorority.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the crash happened Tuesday around 8:30 p.m. when the suspect reportedly lost control of his westbound dark gray four-door BMW and slammed into three parked cars before ricocheting and fatally striking the victims, who officials said were standing on the side of the road. Four women died at the scene. Two other people were taken to hospitals in unknown condition.
Deputy District Attorney Nathan Bartos informed the court that the 'black box' in the BMW showed that the vehicle accelerated from 93mph to 104mph just two and a half seconds before the crash.
Bohm claims he was being 'chased in a road-rage incident'
Sheriff's investigators said they found 'no evidence of an alleged road-rage incident.
According to witnesses via Daily Mail, he had attempted to flee the scene and had to be 'tackled down' and stopped by students from the nearby Pepperdine Sigma Chi fraternity.
Bohm previously attended Oaks Christian School, a $31,250-a-year college prep school near Los Angeles, where he played varsity baseball. He is the youngest of three siblings.
Daily Mail previously revealed that Bohm had received the luxury vehicle in his parents' divorce settlement on his 18th birthday. The red 2016 BMW was purchased by Bohm's mother Brooke using a down payment of $25,000 in 2017. He was living in an $8.7 million Malibu estate with his mother at the time of the crash.
