A YouTube star known as “McSkillet” was killed in a fiery head-on car crash after he sped the wrong way down a San Diego highway this week, according to reports.
Another driver and her 12-year-old daughter were also killed in the wreck.
YouTuber Trevor Heitman, 18, who rose to internet fame under the name “McSkillet” by posting videos about video gaming and gambling, smashed his McLaren 650S sports car into an SUV on Thursday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Heitman bought the sports car, which boasts a sticker price of $250,000, by trading models of items — known as “skins” — for the video game Counter Strike, the Washington Post reported.
Other gamers noted on Twitter that Heitman had become depressed before the crash, because Counter Strike’s developer banned the selling of skins — effectively ending Heitman’s business.
Kevin Hitt, editor of an online gaming outlet, told the Union-Tribune that the company confiscated $200,000 worth of his skins and ended his ability to create more.
Aileen Pizarro worked family counselor in San Diego, and her daughter was set to begin seventh grade on Monday, the Union-Tribune reported.
