A high school student who boasted on TikTok that she had never been in an accident was killed when a motorist crashed into her vehicle just days later.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Kara Santorelli, 18, was driving along Highway 29 in Escambia County, Florida, when a Chevy sedan came traveling the wrong way and smashed into her Nissan SUV.

Santorelli was killed in the March 17 accident. The second motorist, who has not been recognized, died after being trapped in their own vehicle.

Santorelli’s TikTok video, which was posted six days before the fatal crash, has gone viral, with over 15 million views.

In the video, the kid brags about her driving record while posing inside her car with the caption: “When they try to call me a horrible driver, but I’ve never struck a person or an actual automobile.”

Santorelli’s aunt, Gina Southard, expressed her family’s heartbreak following the accident, saying on Facebook, “A small piece of my heart died today when I found out my niece went to paradise.” Kara, I adore your wonderful soul!”

Santorelli’s mother, Lacey McLaughlin, stated in a series of posts, “I love you Kara.” “You are a gift from God.”

Authorities at Northview High School, where Santorelli was about to graduate, also expressed their condolences.

“We cherish the great memories she has left us.” “Her bright smile and loving nature will live on in the hearts of her classmates and friends,” the school stated in a statement.

Jimmy’s Restaurant, where Santorelli worked, claimed Santorelli’s grin always made customers and coworkers happy.

“If you didn’t know Kara, you missed out on knowing a truly wonderful person, and it leaves a space in our hearts,” the restaurant wrote on Facebook. “We will always remember you and know that you can make everyone smile even in the darkest of circumstances!”

Santorelli’s memorial service was held at Pensacola Beach.
