Teens killed in Tik Tok challenge in Indonesia
Two Indonesian teenagers have died due to a challenge on the TikTok application called "The Angel of Death", in which people jump in front of moving trucks in order to increase the number of their followers on the application.
The Indonesian city of Tangerang posted on its Twitter page, a disturbing and semi-censored video of the horrific accident, and warned that the "reckless behavior of the teenagers to stop the truck" caused loss of life.
As many as 14 minors suspected of participating in the challenge have been detained in the city, and the teens are suspected of being involved in a local challenge dubbed "The Angel of Death" which is not successfully completed unless the truck stops before the person is injured.
The Tangerang tragedy comes just a day after two teenage boys jumped in front of a moving truck in Bandung, injuring a 14-year-old with a skull fracture and smashed teeth.
