Sad news from AccuWeather:
3 storm chasers die in car wreck
A fatal car crash occurred on Tuesday afternoon near Spur, Texas, involving three storm chasers amid a severe weather outbreak.
Kelley Williamson, 57, Randy Yarnall, 55, and Corbin Jaeger, 25, were killed upon impact, according to police. Williamson and Yarnall, both of Cassville, Missouri, were contractors for The Weather Channel, featured in the network's special program Storm Wranglers.
The two cars collided at a rural crossroad as the chasers were in the middle of a livestream. Investigators believe that one of the two vehicles ran a stop sign.
No word on who the other vehicle's driver was - these guys were major stars in the extreme weather community. Pushing the boundries of weather photography - they left behing an awesome body of work and they went out doing what they loved. I only hope it was fast.
