As Page Six preciously reported, the deaf actress’ dad, Joshua Hottle, shared the tragedy with TMZ on Tuesday after posting a tearful Facebook livestream.

He explained in ASL that while he was in Texas, he got a call from Maryland authorities about the collision, and later received a follow-up call stating his daughter’s heart had stopped en route to the hospital.

He told TMZ he was flying to Maryland to claim the teenager’s body.

Page Six later confirmed that Kaylee died after the driver of the car she was in “swerved off the road and hit a ditch” at 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

Per police, a 19-year-old was operating a 1995 Honda Accord when the vehicle “traveled off the right side of the two-lane roadway and struck a culvert.”

“Excessive speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the collision,” the police statement continued.
