'Wanna say thanks to my family, friends and fans for all the messages. Means a lot.'
It is not yet clear what caused the crash but those who saw the wreckage claim Gage may have lost control of the car and crashed into a tree.
He is believed to have been in the car at the time with friend and fellow YouTuber Zach Walker.
Footage from the scene that was posted on social media showed the once showroom-worthy vehicle strewn across the road in the aftermath of the crash.
The car's airbags deployed and most of the vehicle's bodywork was ripped apart.
The driver's door and at least one of the front wheels were ripped off and debris from the purple car could be seen scattered right across the road.
