Tragic new details have been revealed about the car accident that claimed the life of Kaylee Hottle. She was only 18 years old at the time of her death.
If you did not see the news, the young deaf actress was killed in a car accident. She famously played the role of Jia in the 2021 film Godzilla vs. Kong, and the movie’s 2024 sequel, Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.
TMZ is now reporting that she was a passenger in a car driving on a road in Maryland very early on Tuesday morning (July 21).
They shared “excessive speed [is] believed to be a factor” when the driver apparently “veered…and slammed into a roadside ditch.”
There were two other people in the car, and the driver, who is said to be 19 years old, did not apparently suffer any life-threatening injuries. Another passenger is said to have refused treatment.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office told the site that “deputies and fire and rescue personnel responded to the single-vehicle crash around 2:52 AM.”
Earlier today, Kaylee‘s father confirmed that she passed away on the way to the hospital.
She previously had attended the Texas School for the Deaf. They wrote on Facebook: “It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that one of our TSD seniors, Kaylee Hottle, tragically passed away yesterday in a car accident in Frederick, Maryland. Our hearts are with Kaylee’s family, friends, classmates, and everyone who knew and loved her during this incredibly difficult time. At this time, we have very limited information and ask that everyone respect the privacy of Kaylee’s family and refrain from sharing or speculating about the circumstances surrounding the accident,” the school added.
Our continued thoughts are with Kaylee Hottle‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this time. RIP.
