TikTok star Rochelle Hager has died, aged 31.
The social media star, who was known by her fans as the user roeurboat3, died in a freak accident in Farmington, Maine on Monday (29 March).
Hager was sitting in her car when a strong wind sent a tree falling on top of the vehicle, Farmington Police Chief Kenneth Charles said.
He added that there was “nothing she could do to avoid it”.
No other vehicles were involved in the incident, which Charles said was caused by a strong wind speed of up to 55 miles per hour.
