In July 2022, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove her car into a brick building at nearly 100 miles per hour with her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan inside. Both of Mackenzie’s passengers were killed on impact, but she survived. In 2026 Netflix released “The Crash,” a documentary detailing the case. An investigation cast suspicion over what really happened in the early morning hours when the fatal crash occurred. Was it a tragic accident, or did Mackenzie Shirilla intentionally torpedo her car into a building? Were there unknown variables like her car brakes malfunctioning or a medical emergency? Or did something sinister drive the teenaged girl to turn her vehicle into a weapon?
