An avid racer and cast member of the show "Street Outlaws" died in Las Vegas while filming for a show.
Ryan Fellows died at 41 after being killed in a "fiery" car accident that engulfed his car in flames.
The accident happened right outside of Vegas, and Fellows was racing another driver amid filming for the show "Fastest in America," which is part of the "Street Outlaws" franchise. Before the crash, the show was scheduled to film nine races. However, the accident occurred during the eighth one, according to TMZ.
According to TMZ, Fellows lost control of the car, causing the vehicle to roll over and catch on fire.
"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating a fatal auto accident that occurred during the filming of the television show Street Outlaws," Las Vegas Metro Police said in a press release.
A GoFundMe was organized to help assist Fellows' family.
The GoFundMe says, "Ryan was an avid car enthusiast and was a road “warrior” in many ways that extended to loves of basketball, cars and business in sales/advertising. He was admired for tenacity and a relentless drive to overcome the challenges before him."
He leaves behind his wife Liz, son Josiah who's 18, and daughter Olivia who's 10, according to the GoFundMe.
Fellows was competing in the third season of "Fastest in America," according to NBC News. He's also appeared in the fifth season of "Memphis," which is part of the "Street Outlaws" franchise.
"Street Outlaws" made a statement on social media regarding Fellow' death.
This isn't the first car accident involving "Street Outlaws" as well.
Earlier this year, JJ Da Boss and his wife Tricia were involved in a pretty gnarly car accident while filming the show, according to TMZ's reporting.
According to Metro Police, OSHA will have updates as the investigation continues.
