Report Says 58 People Died on the Highway
According to the outlet, 58 people have lost their lives on that highway in the past 14 years. It’s no wonder officials are cracking down on speeding cars on that oceanside road.

The cops keep finding cars exceeding limits as high as 110 mph along the route, which features twists, turns, and teeters on the edges of cliffs.

Another user jokingly referenced how the cop who gave the ticket to Will Smith didn’t get a punch. The user wrote, “I think the cop was wearing a helmet when he was giving Will Smith a Ticket; that is why the cop did not get a punch in the face.”
A User hilariously commented that Smith was trying to get away from his wife, Jada. “He was trying to get away from Jada.” One user claims the death toll on the said road is more than what the report says.
“Another motorcyclist was added; it’s up to 59… and that didn’t take into account the unincorporated 10mile section in Ventura County that has even more deaths than the official “Malibu” section,” a user claims. Another user jokingly refers to his character in his upcoming movie, “Bad Boys 4.” The user said, “Don’t they know that he is Miami PD Detective Mike Lawery?”
