A reckless content creator died in a fiery crash that killed two people and injured five others — including two kids — just moments after he filmed an illegal street takeover, according to authorities.
Antione Hampton, 22, recorded the takeover in Memphis, Tennessee on Sunday, sharing a 13-minute clip to Facebook.
“This s–t sucks,” he could be heard saying as he filmed numerous cars doing donuts in the middle of a busy street.
Just 30 minutes later, Hampton was speeding recklessly in his Infiniti QX70 when he slammed into a Lexus SUV, killing the other car’s driver, former teacher Lachell Boyd, 51, and her passenger Terry Baggett, 51, according to a Memphis police report cited by WREG.
Hampton was also pronounced dead at the scene of the crash that injured five others, including kids aged 10 and 14. Three of the injured — ages 21, 23 and 17 — were critically injured, cops said. It was not immediately clear which car they were in.
“It was a big mess. The cars were mangled, and the horns were going off,” neighbor Tanya Allen told Fox13, comparing the sound of Sunday’s crash to thunder.
“I heard a bunch of screaming, so I ran to the side of my house, grabbed my ladder to look at the road,” she added.
Cops said he caused the crash, blaming his “aggressive driving” that was “careless, reckless and the speed limit was exceeded,” WREG reported.
Boyd’s family remembered her as as extremely giving, always sharing and doing what she could for others, according to the outlet.
She operated a business that helped take care of senior citizens, her family said, She had been a teacher for 16 years at Sherwood Elementary and was instrumental in getting a playground.
