Teen Driver Dies in Car Crash, Streams Own Death on Facebook Live
A teenage driver was streaming to Facebook Live this week when a tractor-trailer rear ended her car and killed her, along with a passenger.
Brooke Miranda Hughes, 18, was behind the wheel on Interstate 380 near Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, as she live-streamed her car ride.
Her friend Chaniya Morrison-Toomey, 19, was with her.
“Are you going live?” Morrison-Toomey asked.
In the now-deleted footage, bright lights flash inside the car and sounds of screeching tires can be heard before Hughes can answer.
An eerie seven-minutes of blackness follows.
Then, at the end of the eight-minute video, a man can be heard speaking and a blurry, bearded face can be briefly seen before it ends.
The Scranton Times-Tribune reported that both of the two teens were declared dead at the scene and were driving on a spare tire.
Michael Jay Parks, the driver of the tractor-trailer, was unhurt in the accident. Investigators say it"s too early to say if Parks will be charged.
The Monroe County Coroner’s Office conducted autopsies on the teens, whose remains could not be visibly ID"d due to the car burning.
State Police officials said the Facebook Live video will be used in the investigation. Andrea Saul, a Facebook spokeswoman, said:
“People watching Live video can report potential violations of our Community Standards, and we will take the appropriate action."
She added: “We also encourage people to contact law enforcement if they see a Live stream in which someone is in danger.”
May the victims rest in peace.

Bryan Clauson Dies; Race Car Driver Killed in Horrific Crash (VIDEO)
Race car driver Bryan Clauson died Sunday from injuries sustained in a horrible crash the previous night at the Belleville Midget Nationals.
He was just 27 years old.
Just after taking the lead at the event Saturday night, Clauson climbed a guard rail between Turns 3 and 4 and flipped in extreme fashion.
He was then hit by a car driven by Ryan Greth, reports indicate; the race continued after a red flag period and was won by Chad Boat.
Clauson would not recover from injuries sustained in the crash, which can be seen in the video below (and may be upsetting for viewers).
"This is truly one of the darkest days in the 60-year history of the United States Auto Club," USAC CEO Kevin Miller said of the tragedy.
"Not only have we lost one of our greatest USAC champions," Miller added, "but we"ve lost a true ambassador for all of motor sports."
Clauson ran in three Indianapolis 500 races, including a 23rd place finish in May in which he led three laps, and on the NASCAR circuit.
He became best known in the dirt racing world, however, and as a beloved, versatile driver who racked up wins at an impressive pace.
"Bryan"s passion for our sport was unparalleled," Miller said. "He was a leader not only on the track, but in the pits with his fellow competitors."
"There"s a tremendous hole in the hearts of our community today as we grieve his loss along with his family and friends," Miller added.
He earned two USAC national sprint car championships, two USAC national midget car championships and 170 feature wins in his career.
Specifically, Clauson was a three-time winner of the Belleville Nationals, where he fatefully raced as the defending champion this weekend.
Bryan even endured a major crash on the same track Friday.
“Took a tough hit last night, but the guys have me another hot rod ready for tonight"s Belleville Midget Nationals!” he tweeted on Saturday.
Hours later, he crashed again, and this one proved fatal.
Clauson was planning to marry fiancée Lauren in February.
One of his close friends, NASCAR star Tony Stewart, expressed overwhelming sadness following Sunday"s race at Watkins Glen International.
"It’s a tragedy," Stewart said. "That kid drove for us for a long time and did a great job and never went anywhere, I don’t care what happened."
"No matter how bad his day was, he always found a way to smile with it. Him and Lauren being engaged, kid had such a bright future."
"It’s just … it was hard to start the day today in the car."
"It sucks when it’s anybody in racing. It’s hard when you lose them, but it’s even worse when they’re somebody as close to you as Bryan was."
Stewart continued, shaken up at the loss of his friend:
"I feel for Lauren and Bryan’s parents and his sister, and I hope to see them soon, but just thinking about them more than anything right now."
A statement from Bryan"s family said that Clauson "fought to the end with the same desire that he demonstrated behind the wheel."
More than that, they said, they revere the person he was.
Bryan, they said, always "took a moment to make a fan"s day or demonstrated kindness and appreciation toward his friends, family and fans."

Brandi Glanville: I"m Banging a Famous Guy AND an Uber Driver!
It’s always tough to tell what’s going on with Brandi Glanville’s love life.
For a while there, Brandi was dating Calum Best, but that relationship only lasted as long as it took the thirsty C-listers to realize that the media didn’t care about them, even as a couple.
From there, Brandi moved on to Theo Von, and the relationship briefly seemed to have potential.
After all, Von got his start on reality TV (MTV’s Road Rules, which was still a thing in 2000.), and he parlayed his modicum of fame into a career as an entertainer, which seems to be Brandi’s ultimate goal.
Unfortunately, it looks as though the spark disappeared faster than a magnum of pinot grigio at Brandi’s on a Tuesday afternoon.
So now she’s moved on yet again. To whom, you ask?
Well, Ms. Glanville’s not naming names, but it seems like she’s definitely done being picky:
“I had a great date last night with my Uber driver,” Brandi told the UK”s Daily Mail this week.
“He took me out. It was awesome. He’s French and very cute. He’s a proper gentleman. He opens doors for me and speaks with an accent. He’s an ex-model. That’s always good.”
Plus you don’t have to call an Uber when the date is over! Bonus!
But don’t think for a second that Brandi is spending all her time with one non-famous dude:
“I’m also having fun with another guy who’s on a TV show,” she added.
“I have three crushes right now. I don’t see anything serious happening with them, but I’m having a good time. Whatever happens, happens.”
Hey, at least she’s keeping busy.
The girl’s gotta do something now that she’s her feud with LeAnn Rimes is over (for now).

Erin Andrews SHUTS DOWN Taxi Driver Trying to Film Her!
If you"ve heard anything about Erin Andrews in the past month, you"d know that she"s likely to be a little sensitive about randos trying to film her.
But that didn"t stop this taxi driver at LAX, who whipped out his camera phone to get some footage of the Dancing With the Stars host rolling her luggage.
Andrews made headlines earlier this month after she won a $ 55 million lawsuit against Marriott and stalker Michael David Barrett, who surreptitiously filmed her through a peephole in her hotel room.
In this video from TMZ, Andrews maintains her composure as she"s followed by paparazzi and the cab driver, blowing off questions about Von Miller farting too much on DWTS.
"What"s the taxi guy doing?" Andrews asks the pap. "Are you guys paying him?"
She appears to be in good spirits, but when cab captain offers her a car, she makes her discomfort clear.
"I don"t wanna go with him, though," she says, pointing at the driver who was filming her.
OH SNAP.
Andrews then gets in a taxi with a non-filming cabbie, and the first driver seems nonplussed.
"She don"t like me," he tells the paparazzo.
"She doesn"t like the taxi drivers filming her," explains the pap.
Sorry, dude, your invasion of privacy just cost you a fare.

Farrah Abraham: "An Uber Driver Almost Raped Me!"
Farrah Abraham has made a shocking revelation: an Uber driver tried to rape her.
The allegations came during an episode of her new podcast “Farrah and Friends” during a conversation with YouTube personality Shane Dawson.
The announcement seemed unplanned, as she mentioned it only as Dawson started to bring up an unrelated story about the car service.
“An Uber driver almost raped me, so I don’t know about Uber,” interrupted Farrah. “I’m banned from Uber.”
Farrah’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Simon Saran apparently came to her rescue during the 2 a.m. altercation, which took place in Long Island in January 2015.
“My non-boyfriend threw him in the window and almost broke his car window,” she said, describing the incident.
“The cops were called and I threw the cell phone and I was like ‘I don’t have a cell phone, I don’t have a cell phone! And I was like ‘I’ve had enough of this.’
“The Persian dude ran after me. The cops were like, ‘You’re harassing her’ and I was like, ‘See I told you!’ and then I went to bed.”
The story sounds horrific and scary, albeit disjointed. It seems as though there are some missing pieces that were untold.
Oddly, Dawson was laughing during the whole retelling of the account.
Page Six reports that Uber officials are telling a different story, saying “their investigation showed that Abraham and Saran were the assessors in the incident.”
The company said the driver complained to them and as a result, Farrah was banned from using the service.
Uber also said Farrah did not report the attack to them.
“We have no record of Ms. Abraham ever reporting any incident like this,” said an Uber spokesman. “Her rider account was banned because an Uber driver-partner reported that a friend traveling with Ms. Abraham dumped their alcoholic drink on the front seat of the partner’s car.”
Nassau County Police claim to have no record of a report on the incident.
Farrah’s accusations come on the heels of the Teen Mom OG reunion, during which she broke down while discussing her childhood abuse.
She had previously claimed her parents assaulted her when she was young.
We hope Farrah comes forward and elaborates on these new allegations. Sexual assault is a serious issue and should be addressed appropriately.

Drunk Florida DOCTOR Attacks Uber Driver in Insane Video! Watch!
Generally, when a drunk Florida resident does something newsworthy, it’s bound to be amusing.
When the shenanigans involve automobiles, it’s usually less entertaining because of the very real chance that someone could get injured or killed, but thanks to Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon we now get to enjoy an intoxicated Floridian acting stupid in a car without fear of her destroying anyone’s life but her own:
Yes, the woman in the video above is a fourth-year neurology resident who proves once and for all that sometimes you can make the right decision (like calling an Uber when you’re plowed) and still f–k up in epic fashion.
We don’t get to see how it started, but for some reason, Dr. Ramiskoon winds up flipping out so hard on her Uber driver that she draws a crowd.
The fact that there’s no way in hell he’s driving this woman home doesn’t stop her from getting in his car and tearing it apart like a toddler with a bellyful of appletinis.
The video ends when Anjali walks away from the scene, but according to witnesses, she didn’t get far:
“Once in handcuffs, she then tried kicking some of the police officers on the scene,” the user wrote.
“It was only when they put her in the police car that she started crying, apologizing, and claiming that she would lose her medical license (she claimed to be a neurologist) if she got arrested.”
Sources say the parties agreed on a cash settlement in lieu of arrest, but the future of Dr. Ramiksoon’s career in medicine remains in question.
She may not be as memorable as the Florida woman who stole a reporter’s car on live TV, or the one who attacked a cop at the DMV last month – but Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon has definitely earned a spot in our Florida Woman Hall of Shame:

This Cat Looks JUST LIKE Adam Driver and We"re FREAKING OUT!
Congratulations, Adam Driver.
You’ve finally made it.
Granted, you starred on the smash HBO hit Girls for a number of years.
And, yes, you are the key villain in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a small little movie that has gone on to gross more money than any film in the history of the world.
Those are wonderful. They’re great. Your parents should be very proud of those nice accomplishments and everything.
But now you’ve finally garnered true viral fame. And you owe it all to a cat named Corey.
Corey was just hanging out at the Monmouth County SPCA on Friday, hoping to land a forever home, when a Twitter user named Maci Robin changed the feline’s life.
“Tell me this cat at @TheMCSPCA doesn’t look like Adam Driver,” Robin wrote.
And that’s all it took for everyone from The Huffington Post to MSN to My Fanatic to pick up on the story and for the photo of Corey to make it way all around the Internet.
Sadly, however, if you were hoping to add a pet to your collection who resembles the most recent host of Saturday Night Live… well… we have some bad news for you.
Corey has been adopted.
This is terrific news for Corey, of course.
“Corey aka #kyloren has been adopted! Thanks for all of the shares! #adamdriver #kylorencat @MarciRobin,” the Monmouth County SPCA wrote as a caption to the above image.
Good. It’s about time you did something positive for humanity, Adam Driver!
(That’s a Kylo Ren joke. We’re just kidding, man. We know it was just a role you played.)

Kylie Jenner Shows Off New Rolls Royce, Remains a Terrible Driver
Kylie Jenner has a collection of outlandishly luxurious cars that would make the world"s flashiest rappers jealous.
Unfortunately, Kylie is also a terrible driver.
Last night, Kylie posted the above photo that shows her and her friends celebrating the arrival of her brand-new Rolls Royce Ghost. The car is valued at $ 400,000.
They proceeded to pile into the whip and sing along to songs about liquor, all while Kylie took video of the festivities while driving.
Maybe it wouldn"t be so bad if it weren"t for the fact that Kylie has two car accidents under her belt already.
Add to that the fact that Caitlyn Jenner was involved in a fatal car crash just a few months ago, and it seems that Kylie is really not the type to take valuable lessons to heart.
You may want to stay off the PCH this weekend, SoCal residents.

Papa John"s -- Confederate Flag Driver Forced To Remove Plates
Z STAFF
EXCLUSIVE
A Papa John‘s delivery guy who sported a Confederate Flag decal plate has been forced by the company to remove it or lose his job.
We’re told the driver, who works at a location in North Carolina, is infamous around town for the plates and locals have been very upset. We’re told customers have even taken to Yelp to voice their complaints.
Things got so serious, we’re told corporate got involved, and the employee was forced to remove the plates.
A rep for Papa John’s tells TMZ, “we do not condone these types of actions — we have taken quick and decisive disciplinary action against the team member involved.” At this point, the pizza joint says the guy still has his job.
As for the pizza … it’s still delicious.
Wrong-Way Driver Gets Fatally Shot By Police — From A Helicopter! Get The Crazy Deets Here!
On Friday, a suspected home invasion robber died on a Southern California freeway after leading police on a 100-mph chase!
According to authorities, the suspect was driving down the wrong side of the freeway, and was shot by a sheriff’s deputy — from a helicopter!
Police began pursuing the robbery suspect east of El Lay when the vehicle traveled southbound in the northbound lanes of I-215, which prompted a deputy to open fire on the SUV.

While it’s rate for deputies to shoot from a helicopter, San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies are trained in doing so. Deputy Olivia Bozek explained that opening fire was necessary because:
“It’s a public-safety issue. Once he starts going the wrong way, obviously he doesn’t care about passengers or pedestrians or other cars that are around.”
After getting hit, the driver jumped out of the vehicle, which crashed head on into a Dodge Durango carrying a family of three. Reports say the family suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital.
The robbery suspect continued along the freeway until he collapsed a short distance away, dying at the scene.
We’re glad no one else was seriously hurt from this incident.
