But on the night of Thursday, October 10, his life took a dramatic turn for the worse after his Ford truck collided with another Ford truck a few blocks from his home.
Bruno was driving down Spaulding Avenue, a one-way street at 40 km/h with a traffic light at the end.

The fatal crash occurred about a mile away from Abouab’s Hollywood apartment.
