The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is warning of the dangers of car surfing after a teenager died earlier this month.
The sheriff’s office said on May 5, deputies were called to the scene of a rollover crash on Quarry Drive. A 16-year-old boy in the car was critically injured in the crash, and later died. The sheriff’s office said another teenager was hurt but survived. Deputies said witnesses reported the backseat passengers were hanging out of the car’s windows.
“In the wake of this devastating incident, we feel compelled to raise awareness about the dangers of car surfing,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. “Car surfing involves riding on the outside of a moving vehicle being driven by another person. It is crucial to understand that this activity is incredibly dangerous, and the consequences can be fatal.”
