Florida teen struck by car while friends filmed haircut on median, police say<\/p>\n

An 18-year-old was injured on Sunday evening in Ocala after police said they were hit by a car while filming “a social media video where they were giving a haircut on the median.”<\/p>\n

The Ocala Police Department said the injured pedestrian was with two other young adults when it happened on Southwest College Road.<\/p>\n

OPD said a 3500 Chevy Silverado traveling westbound collided with a Lexus SUV that was entering the intersection from Ocala West Plaza. That’s when the Silverado struck the 18-year-old pedestrian who was standing on the median. <\/p>\n

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but no signs of impairment were reported for either driver.<\/p>\n

‘Motionless on the ground’<\/p>\n

Damian Fox said he was driving his motorcycle through the area after the crash. <\/p>\n

“The one kid was sitting up; the other kid was motionless on the ground. That’s when all the firemen and stuff got there rendering aid and stuff,” Fox said. <\/p>\n

Local content creator Yaj Lerom said he was in the area and saw the aftermath, getting pictures of shoes lying in the street next to evidence markers. <\/p>\n

He said he also talked to two of the people who had been shooting the video for social media when the 18-year-old was hit. <\/p>\n

“We were chilling right there, and I was giving my boy a haircut, and he was recording it,” a male, who wasn’t identified, said. “I remember just hearing a bunch of cars, like, the tires screeching and s— soon as I looked back, the car hit my friend.”<\/p>\n

By Monday night, the Ocala Police Department said the 18-year-old who was hit was stable. <\/p>\n
