A New York woman went viral on TikTok after publicly defending her friend, who she said was recently involved in a hit-and-run with an Audi driver.
Kaitlyn Chen (@chenkaitlyn), who’s been documenting her “realty journey” in New York and Long Island, shared footage of what appeared to be her friend just moments after a car accident. The clip quickly took off online.
The incident happened at 12:43pm ET on May 30 on the Belt Parkway before Exit 7, on the Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. In the short video, Chen’s friend begins recording right after being hit. Instead of pulling over to exchange info, the other driver appears to flee the scene.
“This dude just hit my car,” she said in the video. “He’s trying to run away.”
Dashcam footage shows the car—a dark green Audi RS5 with no license plates and tinted front windows—driving off. Chen said her friend was never able to identify the driver, but she’s now crowdsourcing help.
“Help my homegirl identify this car,” she wrote in the caption. “Lots of good karma coming your way.” Chen even offered a reward: A discount on buying or selling a home through her services.
But as of Thursday, no leads. The culprit is still unknown. Meanwhile, Chen’s video has racked up more than 9.8 million views.
