Sep 15, 2026
James Wehr and Alexis "Lexi" Kramer have died in a fiery car crash in Irvine, California, in the early hours of Sep. 13. A public statement from the Irvine Police Department said the 2019 McLaren crashed at high speed, and firefighters extinguished the wreckage before the two bodies inside could be
identified. Wehr, 27, was the first victim identified. He was the cofounder of South OC Cars and Coffee and regularly shared car content online. Kramer, 22, was identified by friends and family on Sep. 14. A family member said Kramer flew from Lakeland, Florida, to meet Wehr on Sep. 11. On her Instagram, Kramer shared photos of herself riding motorcycles and worked as a Hooters "calendar girl" model. One photo she shared in June 2024 shows her with Hulk Hogan, wearing her orange and white uniform and holding a WWE belt. On Sep. 14, South OC Cars and Coffee shared a post honoring Wehr, and his mother Sarah later shared a commemorative post on Instagram before making her account private.
