The BBC has contacted the California Highway Patrol for more details.
Zampella created Call of Duty with his long time collaborator Jason West in 2003. Partly inspired by events in World War II, the game has sold more than 500 million copies making owners Microsoft’s Activision one of the most profitable gaming companies.
