An Apple employee who allegedly killed a child in a horrifying high-speed crash near the tech firmâs campus was âerraticâ and reportedly showed no remorse in the aftermath of the heartbreaking incident.
Eric Chen Su, 38, is facing a murder charge after allegedly crashing into the vehicle carrying two-year-old Riley Kathryn Howard at 100 mph â four times the posted speed limit â outside Apple’s Cupertino headquarters.
The tech worker was âerratic and insensibleâ in the immediate aftermath of the crash, according to a sheriffâs report obtained by SFGATE.
Deputies said he âdid not show remorseâ after learning the child died after the crash, describing his conduct as âinconsiderateâ and âinsincereâ as he spewed “incoherent” responses during a trip to be interviewed by law enforcement, according to the local news outlet.
Su appeared in a wheelchair before a Palo Alto judge on Tuesday and faces a felony count of murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Rob Baker said the murder charge was âunquestionablyâ appropriate because the speedometer in the suspect’s vehicle âappeared to have been frozen at 100 at the time of the collision.â
Su, who was driving a Toyota Camry, allegedly rear-ended a vehicle stopped on Tantau Avenue last Friday. The collision caused the vehicle to burst into flames, critically injuring Riley and her babysitter.
Good Samaritans pulled the pair to safety.
“Our hearts are broken by the tragic accident that happened outside of Apple Park Visitor Center,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement to MacRumors. “Our thoughts are with all of those grieving, and we are grateful for the care and support of the first responders.”
