Recklessness and wanting to become a trend by taking on a challenge turned into tragedy and resulted in a dead and destroyed house in Italy.
Four men and a woman, referred to as influencers in the media, had developed speed in a blue Lamborghini Urus to overcome the 50 hours of driving.
On the way, in another car, a Smart, a mother took her two children to the nursery. The woman, reports El Mundo, moved down the street from Macchia Saponara, in Casal Palocco, a residential area in Rome.

“I lied and cheated everyone for three years”: influencer makes up that he has cancer to gain followers
He may not have had time to stop, to brake. The Smart was dramatically influenced by the Lamborghini.
Network users are appalled by this embarrassing situation. On Instagram, user Beatriz Abanades pointed out, “There are fun viral challenges, others that make you think for three days. This is carelessness that costs lives.”
While Rosaura Ap added her opinion as follows: “What are these brats affecting? That his eccentricities are paid with his life by a poor innocent? We must stop this society that we create with these so banal and empty people who are unable to appreciate what is most essential, life”.

The clash of the “influencers”
The “influencers”, under 30 years old, were driving and at the same time, to leave the record on the networks, “filmed themselves”, the AFP news agency describes this Thursday, June 15, 2023.
In an alleged diversion, the sinister road took place. The mother and her two children were injured in the collision. The child, Manuel, did not resist the injuries and died in a health center. He was five.
The 35-year-old woman and her sister are being treated in hospital. The police, AFP reports, have “opened an investigation for involuntary manslaughter against the 20-year-old driver”.

The challenge of the group ”The Borderline”, reported El Diario de Yucatán, ‘was to demonstrate that they can accelerate to more than 100 kilometers per hour in a sports car, filmed with mobile phones, for as many hours as possible . be shared in Youtube”.
According to El Mundo, the four men and woman “are part of a YouTube channel with 600,000 subscribers and more than 152 million views that organizes online challenges involving votes, paid clicks and cash prizes.”
Because of the challenge, “they had been roaming the neighborhood for two days filming themselves on the street with that vehicle,” they added.
“Day two without getting out of the car, McDonald’s today and BurgerKing tomorrow” and “Second day at Lamborghini, so good so far” would be some of the messages left by the “influencers” as they completed the 50 hour challenge in the Lamborghini.
networks respond
In response to the painful event, some users leave their impressions on the El Mundo Instagram account.
And Oriana Alessandra opined: “For these and many other reasons viral challenges are stupid, why don’t they make study, art or sports fashionable or viral? Because they are simply not interested, another testament to how we are as a society.
