A burgeoning social media fad is being brought to attention by a Utah adolescent who is fighting for her life following a car surfing accident. Fox 13 reports that 15-year-old Ava Broadhead suffered a “extreme brain injury” after jumping from the top of a moving automobile, putting her in a medically induced coma. The teenager will now need to retrain her speech, walk, and even tie her shoes, since she was excited to attend homecoming.
“Ava was involved in a serious accident while attempting ‘car surfing,’ a dangerous trend that has unfortunately become popular among teenagers. She was thrown from the car, suffering severe brain trauma,” the GoFundMe page for Broadhead says. “What was meant to be a moment of fun has now left Ava in a hospital gown, with half her head shaved, fighting to recover.”
The incident is raising eyebrows across the nation as some are blaming social media for promoting dangerous trends to children.
