Gabriel Salazar, known for his videos on TikTok, died Sunday in a car accident after a chase with the police. The young Texan was 19 years old. It was carrying three passengers aged 23 to 41, according to the magazine People. All died at the scene.
The teenager, whose account (@gabenotbabe) has more than two million subscribers this Friday, was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro in the San Antonio area. According to the San Antonio Express News, a Crystal City police officer attempted to check the vehicle, which did not stop, at around 1:20 a.m. He then set off in pursuit. The driver finally lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree: the car rolled over several times before catching fire.
Still according to the San Antonio Express News, the three passengers were undocumented Mexican citizens. The police do not know if this is why the driver did not stop.
