Mexican singer Ariel Camacho has died in a car crash on Wednesday, Feb. 25, in Sinaloa, Mexico, Billboard reported.

According to the news outlet, the young artist was on tour promoting the deluxe version of his "El Karma" album when he was killed in an accident on a highway outside of Sinaloa. He was 22 years old.

"My heart is broken by the loss of Ariel Camacho," Angel Del Villar, president and founder of the Regional Mexican label said in a statement, as quoted by Billboard. "I knew he was going to transform the genre in Mexico and the United States. Millions of people would have become fans and would have gotten to know the man I did."

Hollywood Take wrote that Camacho and his crew were "in a Honda Accord when the driver lost control while speeding around a curve and ended up in a canal." A man named Sarahi Duran Martinez also reportedly died in the accident, and two other passengers in the car were injured.

This was the second time that Camacho was involved in a car accident, the first one being in 2014 where his speeding vehicle reportedly hit a tree, Hollywood Take added.

According to a report from Heavy, the singer performed at the 2015 Carnival Mocorito concert prior to the incident. The last Facebook post he shared hours before his death featured him in a car while greeting his fans. Camacho often posts videos on the social media website showing him driving.

The singer-songwriter, also known as Jose Ariel Camacho Barraza, is famous for his "guitar skills and soft-edged vocals on acoustic songs that reflected the lives of his Mexican music fans," Billboard noted. His live shows and videos on YouTube earned him a huge fan base.

"El Karma," which he recorded with his band Los Plebes del Rancho, was Camacho's first album with DEL Records, Billboard wrote. His group, which also consists of Cesar Sanchez and Omar Burgos, focuses in Sierreño music. The genre features acoustic guitar, bass and accordion players, Hollywood Take added. Some of the band's hits are "Hablemos," "Toro encartado," and "El Karma."

Fans and his fellow Mexican artists paid tribute to Camacho on Twitter when news of his death went public, one of which is singer Chiquis Rivera. She wrote, as translated by Hollywood Take: "It hurts my soul. I cannot believe it. @arielcamacho_oficial rest in peace!!"
