The fitness world received sad news as famous fitness experts and influencers Baxter Hosley and Garrett Mac Donagh (aka Thievin) died in a car crash on March 10th. The renowned duo Baxter and Thievin were famous on social media, with hundreds of thousands of followers.
According to reports, they died in a traffic accident, which caused the BMW they were in to “split in half.” ABC13 reported that the driver in the BMW, with the fitness influencers, was traveling at a high speed. They traveled over 100 miles per hour on South Main Street near Fondren Road. Therefore, when the car lost control and hit another vehicle, it veered off the street entirely.
This was around 10 p.m. at night. According to the Houston department, the BMW hit a sign while skidding off the road, and this “cut it into two pieces.” The crash thereby resulted in the death of the fitness influencers and their driver.
The man behind the second wheel died at the scene, but the police took his passenger to a local hospital, where he later passed away. Furthermore, the police checked for signs of alcohol at the scene, which would have explained the high speed.

However, they did not find any traces of alcohol, and the drivers weren’t under the influence. Ekkovision, the health and wellness product company that employed the pair, took to their socials to share a heartfelt video about the loss of two of their finest employees.
In the caption, they wrote, “Sunday, March 10th, we lost two of our brothers. The family lost their sons in a horrific event. We ask you guys to please send your prayers to Baxter and Thievin and their family and the Ekko team.”
