Emma Wehr, the wife of late car influencer James Wehr, has broken her silence following his tragic death at age 27.
James and another passenger were involved in a fiery car accident in Irvine, California, in the early hours of Sunday, September 13. Irvine police confirmed two fatalities after the driver of a 2019 McLaren “lost control of their vehicle” and “struck a curb and a tree” before the car “split in two and caught fire.”
Irvine police said it would not name the victims until their families had been notified. James’ family identified him as one of the two people involved in a Sunday Instagram post.
Later on Sunday, James’ wife, Emma, 26, shared an emotional tribute to her husband via her Instagram account, which has since been set to private.

“I never thought the day would come that I’d have to say such a final goodbye,” she captioned a series of photos of herself and James together, per the Orange County Register. “Getting the opportunity to love you will always be the greatest blessing in my life …”
She added, “Like I said in my vows, I’m so grateful to have gotten the chance to live my life at the same time that you lived yours. Whether it’s in this lifetime or the next, my heart will always find its way to you. Rest easy, my love.”

The relative claimed that Lexi, who described herself as a 2026 Hooters calendar model in her Instagram bio, flew from Lakeland, Florida, to California on Friday, September 11, to spend the weekend with James, per the outlet.
Lexi was under the impression that he was separated from Emma, the family member told the Post.
“[He] talked to her every day all the time and finally got her to fly out to California to come see him,” the relative said of Lexi, noting that she was a fan of “American muscle cars and motorcycles.”
“She loved the car community, so it’s such a tragedy that that’s what ended her,” they added. “As you can imagine, this was very shocking and hard. She was kind and funny and charismatic and I’ve had so many people reach out and share their wonderful experiences with Lexi.”
Lexi Kramer/InstagramLexi’s sister, Gracie Kramer, paid tribute to her sibling via Instagram on Monday.
“Lexi was so much more than just my best friend, she was all of my love, my heart, my attitude, and my humor wrapped into a smaller, more chaotic, less filtered package,” Gracie wrote in part. “She was my other half. The comfort I never realized I took for granted in every room. The light of joy I needed on every rough day. My greatest confidant, and now my hardest heartbreak.”
