A Canadian influencer couple who shared videos of their off-road adventures have died in a horror car crash while driving through dangerous terrain in British Columbia. Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans, ran the popular Toyota World Runners channel on YouTube, which saw them document their travels throughout North and South America in their custom-built Toyota Chinook/Land Cruiser hybrid. The pair is believed to have died in a fatal crash while driving off-road through a rocky patch of mountainous terrain near Trout Lake in the Canadian province, with one of the duo found dead at the scene while the other died of their injuries shortly afterwards in hospital. Fellow off-roader Colin Stuart, who runs the Dirt Theory channel on YouTube, says he was with them when they died. “I was with them when it happened and did everything in my power to save them,” he wrote on Facebook. “Those were the hardest 20 hours I have ever lived. The hardest decisions I have ever had to make. I’m sorry to all that this has affected. This is a big loss for the offroad community and a bigger loss to Matthew’s and Stacey’s family and close friends.”
