Not far from Los Angeles is a highway famous for numerous films with chases, races and car accidents. This is Mulholland Drive, a 55-kilometer stretch of "scenic splendor" freeway built in 1924 that leads to Hollywood from Santa Monica. However, car accidents happen here not only in films, but also in real life. Photographer Jason Knight decided to explore the steep slopes of this track for the remains of old cars that crashed here during the long history of the Mulholland Drive track.
