Fact check: Was Kyle Loftis involved in a devastating Supra crash before his death?

According to Prime Timer, reports surrounding Kyle Loftis have once again drawn attention to a serious car accident he was allegedly involved in months before his death. According to The Drive, the incident reportedly occurred in December while Loftis was filming automotive content in California.

Members of The Utah Boys claimed that Loftis was riding inside a Toyota Supra during what they described as a filmed roll-race-style street racing session when the vehicle allegedly lost control. The podcast alleged that the car slammed into a pole and later appeared to catch fire, though both individuals inside reportedly survived the crash.

"Kyle from 1320 Video was in a bad, bad car accident. Yeah, he was in a bad Supra crash. It was in California; they were filming a roll race, like a street race type thing…Both of the people in the car lived."

Did the resurfaced crash footage fuel new speculation around Kyle Loftis' death?

Further in the podcast, the hosts also referenced some GoPro footage said to have come from the incident, claiming the camera was thrown from the vehicle during the violent impact.

Despite the resurfacing of these reports online, no evidence has linked the earlier crash to Loftis' death, and officials have yet to confirm the exact cause of his death. The podcasters alleged, "The GoPro footage that they had flew out of the windscreen of the car and landed in the grass; it's literally filming the car on fire. Like, if they didn't have people, and a lot of people bailed too because they did not want to be there when the cops showed up. And that's really, in my opinion, that's horrible."

They also added an update saying, "I think Kyle got out pretty quick. Everyone was saying that he was able to get out of that side of the car because it wasn't as mangled, but the owner of the car was trapped in there while it was on fire."
