CS:GO YouTube star McSkillet among three killed in San Diego head-on car crash
Woman and daughter also dead after the 18-year-old reportedly drove supercar into oncoming traffic
A teen YouTube star was one of three people killed in a head-on collision on a motorway in San Diego.
The 18-year-old man drove his McLaren 650S supercar in the wrong direction down the I-805 motorway in San Diego on Thursday afternoon.
The California Highway Patrol identified him as Trevor Heitmann of San Diego.
But the nearly 900,000 subscribers to his YouTube video channel and his Twitter followers knew him as McSkillet.
Various tweets by gaming fans said he had been banned from facilitating e-sport gambling that had brought him a sizeable income – enough to buy a handmade, 2015 British McLaren 650S sports car that would have cost US$250,000 or more.
The McLaren, with Heitmann behind the wheel, slammed head-on into a Hyundai SUV and both vehicles burst into flames.
