Police in Texas have alleged that a teenage TikTok star was transporting undocumented migrants when he was involved in a fiery car crash which left him and the three passengers dead, according to a report.
The deadly wreck which killed Gabriel Salazar, 19, is being investigated as a possible smuggling case, officials said.
Mr Salazar, who had around two million followers on his Gabenotbabe TikTok account, died last month after a high-speed police chase.
Luis Jimenez Mora, 41, Jose Molina-Lara, 23, and Sergio Espinoza-Flores, 36, were also killed, according to officials. The three men were originally from Zacatecas, northwest of Mexico City, the Mexican Consul in Texas told Univision41.
