Trevor James Heitmann otherwise known as YouTube creator “McSkillet” never slowed down or tried to swerve on August 23, 2018 as he sped at more than 100 mph in the wrong direction on the 805 Freeway in his McLaren sports car toward an SUV driven by Aileen Pizarro, 43, who was accompanied by her 12-year-old daughter, Aryana Pizarro, the report states.
Heitmann, Pizarro and her daughter were killed on impact, with Pizarro’s Hyundai SUV bursting into flames, officials said.
Despite “McSkillet” driving on the wrong side of the freeway and never slowing down or trying to avoid the crash, his death was ruled an accident by the medical examiner’s office. Heitmann left no suicide note, had no history of depression or suicidal tendencies and had not been officially diagnosed with a mental illness.
A toxicology report detected no signs of alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of his death.
In a YouTube video posted by “McSkillet” in December, Heitmann showed off his handmade British luxury car — which likely would have cost him $250,000 or more — and said he could afford it because he had “made a ton” of money online.
But Heitmann’s income source was gone in mid-August when, according to an investigation that was part of the autopsy, his parents said his behavior began to change. Two days before the fatal crash, Heitmann told his mother he’d driven the McLaren at 150 mph on the wrong side of a street where the posted speed limit was 25 mph.
Heitmann’s father had blocked the McLaren with his own vehicle outside their home in Carmel Valley, but Heitmann rammed his father’s vehicle until he could maneuver out of the driveway.
A short time after leaving his home, and about 20 minutes before the deadly crash, Heitmann smashed the McLaren through a metal gate and drove onto a field at Ashley Falls Elementary School in Carmel Valley, authorities have said. Witnesses said he got out of the car, smashed a window at the school and then left.
California Highway Patrol investigators believe Heitmann entered the northbound 805 Freeway, heading the wrong direction, at Carroll Canyon Road. He was speeding south at least 100 mph in the northbound HOV lanes about 4:40 p.m. just north of La Jolla Village Drive when he slammed into the Pizarros’ SUV.
