Netflix's 'The Crash' has been making headlines since its release. Amid that, the word is that there is new bodycam footage from after the crash, which is leaving everyone in chills.
The Crash has been making headlines ever since its release on Netflix. The 2018 Ohio case left everyone in chills when the story of how a drive turned fatal for 20-year-old Dominic Russo (Dom) and 19-year-old Davion Flanagan. The crash was one of the most shocking incidents back in the day, and now, with the release of the true crime documentary, The Crash, the Ohio crash has once again left everyone restless. Amid that, fans have noticed some strange things in the resurfaced bodycam footage, leaving everyone in a deep state of shock.
According to reports, Mackenzie Shrilla was driving at 100 MPH in her 2018 Toyota Camry when she crashed the vehicle into a building. The impact was so strong that it resulted in the tragic death of her boyfriend, Dominic Russo and friend, Davion Flanagan, according to PEOPLE. She was later arrested for the murder of the two in November 2022. After a four-day trial she was found guilty of four counts of murder as well as four counts of felonious assault, two of aggravated vehicular homicide, one of drug possession and one of possessing criminal tools.
Mackenzie Shirilla was convicted of murdering both Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan, with the judge in her case calling her "literal hell on wheels" and handing down two concurrent 15-year sentences. However, later, bodycam footage of the same incident was released, featuring some of the case's strangest aspects. Officers called the wreck "the worst [they've] ever seen."
When the officers arrived at the scene, they raced to smash the car's windows to retrieve Mackenzie and the other person, not realising there was another person. The video showed how the officer cried out, "Oh my God. Times three guys...This is bad, guys." Mackenzie was wedged under the dashboard and had to be extracted with the help of a tool called the jaws of life. A helicopter then rushed her to the hospital. One of the officers was heard saying:
"Rest in peace, buddy...This is gonna just be a nightmare of a day for this whole department."
When Mackenzie Shirilla was arrested on November 7, 2022. However, when she was told she was being charged with two counts of aggravated murder, she had a blank expression. Instead of being worried about her arrest, she pouted and asked an officer, "Could you please be careful taking this one off so it doesn't break the bracelet?" When she arrived at the station, she cried upon being asked to take off her jewellery, alleging they were gifts from her long-time boyfriend, Dom. The stark contrast left viewers absolutely stunned, as someone who didn't cry over being arrested for murder had broken down over jewellery.
When an officer went to the hospital to inform Mackenzie's parents about Dominic's death, they were dreading the confrontation, as the parents didn't know that there was anyone else in the car. One of the officers was even heard muttering, "God, help me". Mackenzie's father, Steve, clutched his heart as the officer told them two passengers had died. When he confirmed one of them was likely Dom, Mackenzie's mother, Natalie covered her face in shock, and Steve doubled over, gasping. She was quoted as saying:
"Dom is dead...Dom with the curly hair? It could be a different Dom."
During the first police questioning, Mackenzie was in the hospital after the crash, and Assistant Professor, Tim Troup called a "unique language," comparable to pig Latin. In a recording, Detective, Zaki Hazou informed Mackenzie and her mother that they're investigating her for two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide. However, she responded in quasi-jibberish, asking Natalie if they could tell the police she had a seizure. She further asked Hazou, "Can't you just take my license away for like, 10 years?"
The footage from The Crash also showed two of Davon's friends speaking with the police, and provided data from their Life360 app, which tracked their late friend's location. The friends explained that the trio, Mackenzie, Dom and Davon, went to a "small gathering or party" before the crash. The app showed that Davon was on his phone at 5:35 a.m., just a minute before the crash. The data also showed that Mackenzie's car didn't stop until impact; in fact, she hit the accelerator seconds before the crash rather than the brakes. Some of the trio's common friends even pointed to the toxic relationship between Mackenzie and Dom, suggesting it could have led her to take the drastic step.
