Call of Duty pro Phillip "Phizzurp" Klemenov died in a car accident Sunday morning.

Phizzurp's girlfriend Adrianna Lemus, who was in the car with him early Sunday in Colorado, announced his death in an emotional video on Twitter.

With a sling on her arm, she describes the single-car crash in detail, saying the car hit multiple trees and a light pole.
