I shared this note: Sebastián Funes, 27 years old, known on social media as Chatterbox, died on Sunday, July 5, in a terrible accident along National Route 5, at kilometer 349, near Guanaco, Pehuajó. The incident occurred on National Route 5 and involved a car, a pickup truck, and a truck, according to Todoprovincial.
The occupants of the pickup truck were injured, while the driver of the cargo vehicle emerged unscathed. According to initial reports, which will need to be confirmed by judicial investigations, the crash reportedly occurred when one of the vehicles attempted to overtake a truck, resulting in a head-on collision with a pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction.

In the incident, the father of the YouTuber, Juan Manuel Funes, 54 years old, also died; he was driving the car in which the family from Pehuajó was traveling to the City of Buenos Aires.
According to the information, Juan Manuel Funes's wife and a minor daughter were also in the vehicle, both of whom survived the impact and remain hospitalized under medical care.
