An Apple employee who allegedly killed a child in a horrific high-speed crash near the tech company’s campus was “erratic” and reportedly showed no remorse following the heartbreaking incident.
Eric Chen Su, 38, faces a murder charge after allegedly crashing into the vehicle carrying two-year-old Riley Kathryn Howard at 100 mph — four times the posted speed limit — outside Apple’s Cupertino headquarters.
The technician was “erratic and unresponsive” immediately after the accident, according to a sheriff’s report obtained by SFGATE.
Deputies said he “did not show remorse” after learning the child had died after the crash, calling his conduct “reckless” and “insincere” as he spat out “incoherent” responses during a trip to be interviewed by law enforcement, according to the local media outlet.
Su appeared Tuesday in a wheelchair before a Palo Alto judge and faces one count each of murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Assistant Santa Clara County Prosecutor Rob Baker said the murder charge was “unquestionably” appropriate because the suspect’s vehicle’s speedometer “appeared to have been frozen at 100 at the time of the collision.”
Su, who was driving a Toyota Camry, allegedly hit the rear of a stopped vehicle on Tantau Avenue last Friday. The collision caused the vehicle to catch fire, seriously injuring Riley and her babysitter.
The good Samaritans brought the two men to safety.
“Our hearts are broken by the tragic accident outside the Apple Park Visitor Center,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement to MacRumors. “Our hearts go out to all those who are grieving and we are grateful for the care and support of the first responders.”
