An 18-year-old man has died along with a woman and her 12-year-old daughter after he crashed a McLaren into their vehicle while driving 100mph in the wrong direction on a California highway.


None of the victims from Thursday's crash have been identified formally but friends have identified the man as popular YouTuber and gamer McSkillet who was banned from trading 'skins' for the popular video game Counter Strike Global Offensive (CS: GO) earlier this year. His real name is Trevor Heitmann.

The ban meant he lost around $100,000 in virtual inventory which he could have sold, according to his fans and gaming industry pundits.

On Friday, he drove his McLaren 650S in the wrong direction down I-805 HOV in San Diego at 4.30pm.

Thirty minutes earlier, witnesses saw a teenage boy in a black McLaren smash through the gates of an elementary school. No one there was hurt.

According to police, the teenager was driving southbound in the northbound lane of the highway when he plowed into the woman's 2010 Hyundai SUV.

The crash left one other person injured. They were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The aftermath on the highway was a harrowing fiery wreckage which caused other drivers to swerve.

Video showed the McLaren entirely on fire in the middle of the road.

Witnesses who saw him plow his vehicle through the gates of Ashley Falls Elementary School said they were afraid he was trying to hurt children.

'I was worried he was going to hit the two people standing at the gate.

McSkillet had recently been banned from trading skins on Valve which cost him as much as $100,000
'They stood in the middle trying to stop him, doing hand motions but he didn't stop at all. If they didn't move they would've got run over.

'He didn't stop his car, he just kept accelerating and the gate busted open when he hit it,' Alec Galloway told Fox News.

Friends and fans of the YouTuber have paid tribute to him since the news emerged and assigned blame for his death with Valve, the company which banned him from trading.

It was a lucrative side of the gamer influencer industry which allows players with large fan bases, like McSkillet, to sell their inventory of skins - virtual textures for their weapons.

He had been banned for his involvement with CS: Magic, a gambling site.

He often did giveaways on his YouTube channel, OG McSkillet, which had more than 800,000 subscribers. He never revealed his real name or his face online.

[Take It In Blood]

heard about this a couple days ago, noticed no one on the coli made a thread about it and i didn't care enough about gamer cacs to post it myself

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

I hope that cac loses everything he got

 

[315]

He bought that car from playing video games?

 

[Homer Simpson]

i'm guessing he was in major debt if he's riding a mclaren and committing suicide because of losing 100k (if that's even true).

and there's a lot of shadiness that goes into those skin betting sites that a lot of youtubers are linked with.

He bought that car from playing video games?

I’d say losing your life is pretty high value.

 

[Brolic Scholar]

Wow!!!

Yoooo.

I was about to hit the 805 south leaving work last Thursday one exit north and noticed traffic in the distance and didn’t get on. I kicked it in the parking lot until an hour and change passed by. I got on and saw two cars flipped over and a bunch of cops and debris.

What a fukking coward.

 

[concise]

Another one. Can't just kill himself, has to target innocents also.

 

[SheWantTheD]

Just goes to show you what you see at face value may not be reality.

Most of his followers probably wished they were in his position.

RIP to all those involved smh
