Washington [US], August 7 (ANI): Comedian Tony Baker has been mourning the loss of his 21-year-old son, Cerain Baker, who died in a car accident, alongside two other individuals on August 3.
According to E! News, a press release from the Burbank Police Department, authorities were called to the scene of a car crash at 11:50 p.m. on Tuesday night.

At this time, no arrests have been made in the investigation. "In my 19-year-career, I haven't seen anything like this, personally. Not to this magnitude and this level of debris over a two-city block span," said Burbank Police Department Sgt. Emil Brimway told ABC 7 News. (ANI)
