Cause of Death for YouTube Star Ben Potter Unveiled
New information has been revealed about the passing of Ben Potter.
The creator of the popular YouTube channel Comicstorian tragically lost his life in a solo car accident on June 8, as reported by People. According to a statement from the Colorado State Patrol, the incident occurred at 9:19 am local time near Fort Collins.
“The resident of Windsor was driving southbound on I-25 at milepost 267.5 when his silver Toyota 4Runner veered off the right shoulder of the highway,” the statement mentioned in the People article. “He then crossed over the frontage road running parallel to the highway before the vehicle rolled multiple times.”
As per People, Ben was alone in the car, and despite wearing his seatbelt, he sadly “succumbed to injuries from the accident at the scene.” The release also indicated that while an investigation is ongoing, impairment and excessive speed do not seem to be contributing factors at the moment.
E! News has reached out to the Colorado State Patrol for further details but has not received a response yet.
Ben’s wife Nathalie had previously shared that her husband passed away “in a tragic accident” at the age of 40.
