YouTuber Andrew Cross Dies at 36 Following Traumatic Brain Injury

The popular 'Desert Drifter' creator was removed from life support after a severe car accident left him hospitalized for over a month.

Andrew Cross, known as 'Desert Drifter' to his 474,000 YouTube subscribers, passed away on March 4 after being taken off life support due to injuries sustained in a January 31 car accident.
The accident occurred when Cross was rear-ended at high speed while stationary in Colorado, leaving him with a severe brain injury and unconscious in the ICU for over a month.
His family made the difficult decision to remove life support after consulting with medical experts and observing his declining condition.
Cross' final moments were described as peaceful, with family and friends reading scripture, praying, and singing as he was honored by hospital staff in a moving tribute.
The driver responsible for the crash has been charged with vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and driving under the influence, while a GoFundMe campaign for Cross' medical bills has raised nearly $500,000.
