Deadly Crash Brings New Attention To Viral 'Kia Challenge' Trend



Four teens were killed in Upstate New York while driving a stolen Kia vehicle. Investigators are possibly linking the tragedy to the “Kia Challenge,” which is a viral social media trend that shows people how to steal a car using a USB cord. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky reports on how police departments across the U.S. have been sounding the alarm on this trend for months.

  1. 4 less thieves in the world

  2. Let me guess, they didn’t have any fathers

  3. It’s sad for the parents of those tiktokers, watching all of this 😢

  4. Black people doing black people stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ppl with no education

  5. 0 sympathy for the dead they got what they deserved.. condolences to the Kia owner sorry for your loss 💀

  6. I feel sorry for the car owners, not the monkeys that escaped the zoo

  7. Taxpayers were saved a lot of many. RIP Bums

  8. Tik Tok Challenges are an epidemic

  9. Seems like a ◼️ thing to me

  10. please try to steal my car. i will find you and i will get my car back with your dead body inside it and its funny how i only saw black kids stealing those cars

  11. Also has tik Tok enhanced anyones lives? Did you life get better at all – it’s weird I give YouTube a pass but tik tok man I hate it

  12. I keep seeing a bunch of teens that looks like me … guess what no sympathy – thoughts and prayers to Kia owners . I am tired of out of control punk kids…

  13. cool the 4 died, I'd like to have seen that crash
    'willing to bet the 5th will be dead before long.
    Maybe in a store hold up gone wrong – I'm Kidding – 'a store holdup gone Right

  14. I'm not saying they should've died because quite honestly I feel bad for the families that lost their children. However, this was completely avoidable. Unfortunately all 5 of them decided to be idiots and nuisances and ended up paying for it. Now four of them are dead and one is facing charges. All this for a challenge, it's pathetic really.

  15. Once you go KIA you never go back

  16. Tick Tock is a bunch of Chinese Liars that will lie to you just because you're not a member of the f**** party. So I love how they're going to quote what the f*** tick tock says. Why the f*** Kia give locking devices to f**** law enforcement. I want to talk to a f**** cop I want to talk to a f**** cop about a wheel locking device. People are getting stupider and f**** stupider.

  17. China's Tik tok strategy working its charm in America once more. Their quest to make America the butt of every joke is well on its way to be fulfilled.

  18. Why are their hearts with the criminals and not the people who are the victims of theft? This country has gone bananas.

  19. What’s easy is to closed down all Kia dealership and never buy them till they have some new lock up feature.
