Actor and photographer Brad Everett Young passed away on Sunday, September 14th, at the age of 46, following a car accident in California, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Paul Christensen, a spokesperson for Young, said the accident happened late at night on the 134 Freeway after Young had gone to a movie. According to Christensen, another vehicle traveling in the wrong direction hit Young’s car.

The other driver survived and was hospitalized, but Young died at the scene.

I always knew Ethan Young as more than just an actor, and his photography was a huge part of that. He was seriously talented behind the lens, and incredibly popular online – he racked up over two million followers on Instagram who were clearly captivated by his portrait work. It was a real second career for him, and he excelled at it.
