Trevor Heitmann crashed his sports car into a mother and her daughter, killing them both.
YouTuber “McSkillet” drove his McLaren up the wrong side of an American motorway and crashed into oncoming traffic, killing himself and two others, officials have said.
The collision happened in San Diego on Thursday just after 4.30pm where the 18-year-old internet personality lived.
He smashed into a Hyundai SUV at speed on the interstate 805 and killed a 43-year-old woman and her 12-year-old daughter.
The cause of death for all three, who were pronounced dead at the scene, was blunt force trauma.

McSkillet’s channel had close to 900,000 subscribers, and he’d posted a video there showing off his black McLaren in December.
Witness Mariwan Hama told the Los Angeles Times: “People were running around … and someone was on the ground.
“They were trying to help him, he was raising his hand, and they were just surrounding him.”

The crash caused a chain reaction between five cars and one other person was injured.
The burnt out wreck of the Hyundai could be seen on the motorway, McSkillet’s sports car was described as “fragmented” by the medical examiner’s office.
