McLaren crash that killed car influencer, calendar girl likely due to speeding
Key Points:
- Speed is believed to be a key factor in the fatal Irvine supercar crash that killed James Wehr, founder of South OC Cars and Coffee, and Alexis “Lexi” Kramer, a 2026 Hooters calendar girl.
- The crash occurred just after midnight when the purple McLaren accelerated rapidly from a red light, lost control, hit a tree, and burst into flames, killing both occupants.
- Witnesses estimated the McLaren was traveling as fast as 100 mph, though investigators have not yet confirmed the vehicle’s exact speed.
- Wehr and Kramer had recently met in person after connecting on Instagram, spending the evening together before the crash; Wehr reportedly told Kramer he was separating from his wife, though no divorce filings were found.
- The investigation is ongoing, with authorities warning it could take six months or more to complete due to the complexity of reconstructing the accident.
