Family performed lamb sacrifice for man before he was ejected onto Calif. freeway sign

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 2, 2015)– Relatives of a California man who died in a car crash that launched his body onto a freeway sign last week are trying to raise money for “unexpected financial burdens.”

Richard Pananian was passing vehicles on the right shoulder of the southbound 5 Freeway in Glendale around 7 a.m. Friday when he lost control and rear-ended a pick-up truck. His car flipped several times and he was ejected, landing on an elevated freeway sign. He died at the scene.

Pananian’s body was covered with a sheet after firefighters ascended a ladder and worked to remove the body. The body remained there for several hours.

A funding page was created in memory of the 20-year-old because “the family is facing many unexpected financial burdens.” The creator of the page, Armen Kardashian, wrote about Pananian’s backstory, which includes a Christian upbringing and a recent lamb sacrifice:
