Automotive YouTuber Killed in Single-Vehicle Crash Near Detroit
An automotive YouTuber has died near Detroit in a single-vehicle crash involving a Chevrolet Corvette C8.
Nathan Narra, an automotive content creator, was killed in a rollover crash in the Detroit suburbs last week.
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray he was driving was found upside-down against a fence. Narra was taken to the hospital, where he died.
Apparently the area is well-known as a place where drivers speed excessively, but it's not known how fast Narra was driving when the crash occurred.
"I detail cars and I detail his car all the time," a witness told local news. "Once I saw the car, and me being the car fanatic that I am, something in my gut told me, that's him."
Narra's NateNation channel appears to have been scrubbed from YouTube and social media. There is some content on the YouTube page, but nothing under three years old that I could see.
Narra had courted controversy in March 2020 when led police on a high-speed chase in Texas. He was charged with reckless driving and evading arrest.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
