Richard Pananian, 20, of Burbank had been battling serious health issues but overcame them, said his cousin, Armen Kardashian. He would not say what the health issues were.
This time, his family wasnt taking any chances and was determined to protect him, so they performed a matagh, or offering, on Oct. 25. Matagh is a tradition of the Armenian Church and often used to show appreciation to God for saving a life, asking for good health or for peace for deceased loved ones.
...
He was driving on southbound on the 5 Freeway just north of California 134 when his Ford Fiesta rear-ended a pickup truck and overturned, said Officer Edgar Figueroa, a California Highway Patrol spokesman. The CHP said Pananian was not wearing a seat belt.

Honestly the lamb part is the least unusual aspect of the story.

(2,884 posts)Lamb sacrifice -> mentioned in the Bible -> works -> OK
Seat belt -> NOT mentioned in the Bible -> can't possibly work -> don't
Hope this clarifies the issue.

(2,262 posts)Religious guy with interest in racing, on his way racing to a job in a collision center, has a collusion. And is vaulted up into the heavens. Becoming the goat.
Maybe his religious obsession with symbols got him. Mistaking icons for things that make things happen, is a common problem in old country religion.
