A tragic incident, a TikTok livestream ending in the demise of a pedestrian, has sparked debate on road safety and social media. Tynesha McCarty-Wroten, 43, whose social media moniker is 'Tea Tyme', allegedly hit and killed a pedestrian in Zion, Illinois, at quarter past 5 in the afternoon on 3 November while livestreaming on TikTok. McCarty-Wroten was arrested Tuesday and is now facing multiple felonies after a month-long investigation finally comes to an end.
The pedestrian who was killed was later identified as Darren Lucas, 59. Lucas was coming home to Beach Park from a shift at a grocery store when McCarty-Wroten's southbound vehicle struck him. Officials say he was rushed to hospital where he was later pronounced dead from blunt-force injuries, according to a report by NBC Chicago.
