Consolations to all the families involved, as one dumb ass 18 yr old You tube star in his McLaren decided to drive over 100mph on a major interstate - in the wrong direction, during the rush hour evening traffic. He killed 3, injured 8


A teenage YouTuber plowed his McLaren into oncoming cars in an alleged suicide smash, crashing head-on into an SUV, killing the sports car driver and the two occupants of the SUV -- a 43-year-old mother and her 12-year-old daughter

The online star, who called himself McSkillet, was reportedly driving faster than 100mph when his  sports car crashed head-on into an SUV, killing its driver and passenger, and erupting into a fireball.

The 18-year-old had made a fortune designing and selling digital "skins" used to customise guns and knives in the first-person shooter video game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO).

The California Highway Patrol identified 18-year-old Trevor Heitmann as the driver of the McLaren. Heitmann was known by online gaming fans as "McSkillet," who watched him play the first-person shooter "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" on video streaming sites such as YouTube.

CHP investigators were called to a school in Carmel Valley, where, shortly after 4 p.m. about 30 minutes before the crash, witnesses say the driver of a black McLaren slammed through the gate, got out of the car, smashed a window on a school building and sped out of the campus parking lot.






He had also owned the gambling site CSGO Magic, which allowed users to spend real money for a chance to win exotic cosmetics, but the site closesd down after a rule change from the game’s developer, Valve. In a now-deleted tweet, McSkillet said “all my steam accounts are banned so I’m not going to try and make videos anymore.”

To get an idea of how little distance is involved, these map images below show Carmel Valley at top, and the crash site at the bottom right on the 805 freeway





as you can see from the image above, the crash happened right about where the motorcyclist is in the image below


so I'm guessing he got on on the northbound 805 at the Sorrento Valley ramps in the top of the below image


as the crash happened at the bottom of this image, at the merge

  1. Some say that was suicide, some that he try to run away from police. One is sure, he killed 3 persons, wound more. If hell exist, there will be a special place for him there.

  3. Jesse, I don't like to use fowl language, but I can't help it this time. What a piece of shit. You don't have to post this if you don't want to, I understand, but my heart truly aches for the innocent.
