TikTok star Carl Eiswerth died in a car crash on Tuesday. He was 35.
Eiswerth’s mom, Janet, confirmed the news to TMZ and detailed that, at around 4:30 p.m., her son and his friend were driving along a Pennsylvania intersection when they were struck by another vehicle.
The Snyder County Deputy Coroner further told local news outlet WKOK that Eiswerth — who was in the passenger seat — died on the scene from blunt force trauma.
The state police were forced to shut down Route 11 for about 4 miles following the crash.
Eiswerth’s family is planning two memorial services and will possibly live stream both events so fans can pay tribute to the late social media star.
Eiswerth rose to fame on TikTok posting under the username @team_carl_forever. He had over 435,400 followers at the time of his death.
