Emma Wehr, widow of James Wehr who founded South OC Cars and Coffee, has hired attorney Corey Higgins to investigate the fatal crash that killed her husband and Alexis Kramer in Irvine on September 13. The lawyer is focusing on identifying the source of water on the road that may have caused the accident involving Wehr’s McLaren supercar, which crashed into a tree and burst into flames. Higgins also plans to examine whether the vehicle provided adequate safety measures during the collision.

Story summary
On Saturday at around 12:20 AM, James Wehr, founder of South OC Cars and Coffee — one of the world's largest weekly car shows in California, died along with his passenger, Alexis 'Lexi' Kramer, 22, after their McLaren 720S crashed into a tree and burst into flames. The crash occurred just an hour after Wehr had been pulled over by police and posted about it on Instagram. Police believe speed was a factor in the fatal incident. Emma Wehr, James's widow, has since hired lawyer Corey Higgins to investigate the circumstances of the crash, including the source of water found on the road that night which could have contributed to the loss of control.
