A popular Youtuber was killed in a collision while he and his spouse were riding their scooter in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
Apparently a van over ran them as they slowed to turn from the highway onto a side road.
Sean O'Connor was killed upon impact with the roadside berm.
His spouse, Carolina was apparently dragged, along with the scooter, for nearly 300ft before stopping.
This accident occurred shortly after the eclipse, which they had traveled to North Carolina to view.
Carolina was in intensive care for severe damage to legs requiring rods installed and multiple skin grafts. She also has 7 broken ribs and a pierced lung. She is now recovering somewhat and is able to eat.
Their channel, known by Road Warrior is very popular. They seemed to be a nice young couple...
RIP Sean
Speedy recovery for Carolina

Here's a clip from the Clay County Progress, a newspaper in Hayesville, NC.

There is a GoFundMe account set up for Carolina's medical bills.
It may be located in the comments on the last video they posted, of the eclipse, within the comments.

Thank you for replies.
We know them only through their youtube channel. They seemed to be nice young folks.
Updated coms today say Caro had further surgery and is recovering well.
