The husband of a pregnant Utah influencer who died in a horror accident while driving home for Christmas has now also died.
Chloe Stott, 24, and her husband Parker had been driving to Arizona to surprise their families with the news they were expecting when tragedy struck Wednesday evening on Highway 93 near Wickenburg, Maricopa County.
The influencer and her unborn son died at the scene. Parker was flown to the Arizona Burn Center in critical condition and underwent three surgeries, including a leg amputation.
His family confirmed the day before Christmas Eve that he had died in hospital.
“He is the strongest person and fought so hard.” “At 6:47 p.m. Parker grew his angel wings to fly him to heaven to be with his sweet friend Chloe and their baby,” his family said in a touching statement Homage.

“Earlier today, Parker underwent his third surgery to clean up his burns and begin a skin graft on his leg,” a social media account run by his family said.
“After completing the operation, the surgeons delivered the news that Parker’s injuries were even more serious than we already knew and that the outlook was extremely grim.
“A few hours later we received word that Parker’s vitals were declining and he was moving fast. We gathered around him as a family, kissed him, hugged him, held his hand and told him how much we loved him and how proud we were of him.

At a fundraiser for the couple that raised nearly $200,000, it was said they were just about to announce the news of their pregnancy to the rest of the family when the horrific accident occurred.
“They had just found out they were pregnant and were so excited to be parents and share the news with their loved ones over Christmas,” the GoFundMe page reads.
Police said Friday that the accident occurred at 8:18 p.m. Wednesday when the couple's white Toyota Tundra pickup truck was overtaking vehicles in a legal passing zone but failed to clear the passing zone and collided head-on with a white Volvo tractor-trailer .
The driver of the Volvo was taken to the hospital as a precaution, KSL reported.
