According to reports, Adams was operating a motorcycle on the 101 freeway in Encino when the fatal crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

AVN confirmed the death via documentation from the L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office.

Adams amassed more than 700 credits as a performer in the past five years, working for just about every major studio in adult. Some of his early work was for Brazzers and Mofos. He also was a busy director, shooting for sites such as Exploited College Girls and Bellesa House. A nominee for Best Male Newcomer at the 2018 AVN Awards, the Charleston, South Carolina native majored in business in college, managing restaurants before taking the leap into adult in late 2016. He got into adult after having sex at a porn party he attended with his friend. In a 2018 Fresh Face interview with AVN, Adams said, “I’m just thankful to be here, ready to see what happens in the future, and stick around if people let me stick around…”

Adams was well liked among the adult industry community, and had gained a reputation in the past few years for hosting sprawling industry parties at his San Fernando Valley home. Having not held one since before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adams brought the tradition back with a vengeance this July 4th weekend, and industry members turned out in force, according to AVN.
