Original video shows injuries and composed reaction
In the footage, the creator exclaims, “What the f—! Oh my god! I just got like f—— ran over!” No vehicle appears in the frame. The accompanying caption reads, “Just got ran over wbu.”
The video reveals a raw, reddened abrasion on her side near the waist, bruising and abrasions on her leg, a larger reddish-brown mark near her shin, and a smaller circular wound closer to her ankle. While displaying the injuries to the camera, she smiles and points at the affected areas.

Follow-up explains the sequence of events
On August 10, the TikToker posted a follow-up video detailing what occurred. She and friends were dropping someone off at a house on a hill when the driver’s car began malfunctioning: the gas pedal stopped responding and the brakes failed. The vehicle started rolling backward, prompting the driver to jump out, followed by the creator.
She said she forgot the car was on an incline and it had accelerated to approximately 20 miles per hour by the time she exited, scattering her belongings and knocking her to the ground. As she attempted to stand, the still-open car door struck her in the head, knocking her down a second time.
She then felt something pulling her hair and realized the car’s tire was rolling over it, though the tire did not run over her body. She described feeling scared, and said that after standing up she noticed the scrapes — an injury she said ‘hurts the most’ among the wounds shown in the original video.

Commenters focus on adrenaline response
Reactions to the original video largely centered on the creator’s calm demeanor rather than visible distress. One commenter attributed the reaction to a physiological response, writing, “The adrenaline hit you so hard, i can’t imagine how you felt an hour later.”
Another described a similar personal experience: “Adrenaline and chock, I was the same when I got hit by a car, I was talking about his windshield being broken instead of me almost dying worrying if he was okay.”
Creator addresses criticism and legal questions
The TikToker stated she does not plan to pursue legal action against the driver because they are friends, and that others, including the driver’s mother, arrived at the scene shortly after. She clarified that filming the video was not her first reaction to the incident.
Responding to criticism in the comments of her original post, she wrote that she had not lied about what happened but had exaggerated her initial description, adding that she was not faking the injuries “for clout.”
Some commenters questioned her lack of tears. One asked directly, “Omg are you good? Why are you not crying?”
The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the events described in these videos, including the identities of those involved and the condition of the vehicle. The details above reflect the TikTok creator’s account across both videos as shared on TikTok.
