YouTuber Ben Potter, known as Comicstorian, tragically passed away from injuries sustained in a car accident on an interstate in Colorado.
The Colorado State Patrol informs that Ben was driving his Toyota 4Runner on Saturday morning when it veered off the right shoulder of I-25 near Fort Collins, causing the SUV to roll multiple times.
According to reports, Ben’s car crossed to the other side of the interstate before rolling, resulting in fatal injuries. Authorities confirmed he was wearing a seatbelt at the time.
The CSP noted that Ben was alone in the car, and no other vehicles were involved in the incident.
While the crash is still under investigation, police indicated that there are no signs of drugs, alcohol, or excessive speed being factors in the accident.
Ben’s wife, Nathalie, announced his tragic passing on Monday, stating that he died in an unfortunate accident. Tributes to Ben have poured in online, including from Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and comic book author Scott Snyder.
Nathalie wrote: Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident. To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for.
As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay.
He was our rock and he’d reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it. He was my world and I need time to be with friends and family. I have so many things I need to figure out but firstly, I need to grieve. I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else’s. Right now my priority is preserving everything he’s built and I don’t have any plans beyond that.
His channel was one of his greatest accomplishments, and while we all need our time to mourn him, I know he wouldn’t want it to end like this. Ben spent over 10 years spreading his love and appreciation for his hobbies. It was through his love of exciting stories and well written characters that got him started on YouTube.
The team and I want to keep that going. To honor him by continuing to tell great stories by great people, as well as to keep the memory of our very own superhero alive. We supported each other on everything we wanted to do and I’m not about to stop now. – Nathalie Potter
