An 18-year-old TikTok star, known online as Timbo the Redneck, died over the weekend while performing a truck-driving stunt in his friend’s front yard in Florida.

The social media celebrity, whose real name was Timothy Hall, died on Sunday after he was tossed from his beloved pickup as he attempted to execute a series of donuts, a maneuver that involves the driver whipping their vehicle in small circles while accelerating.

In a YouTube video, Timothy’s future brother-in-law Tony, who appeared in some of his videos, said Timbo fell from the driver’s side window before the truck toppled over.

“His whole body, that truck landed on top of him,” said Tony. “He’s passed away.”

Hall’s mother, Tessie, also appeared in a clip shared to his TikTok page to confirm the news.

“He won’t be making anymore videos,” she said. “My son was in a bad accident yesterday and didn’t make it and I want to thank everybody for all the fans that he had.”

Hall, who had only just graduated high school this year, amassed more than 200,000 followers and 2.5 million likes with his controversial Confederate comedy videos, typically detailing life in the south. A proud Trump supporter living in Jennings, Fla., the TikToker would often post about fishing, truck stunts, and dipping.

Who writes this cr@p? Beloved pickup truck? Proud Trump supporter?

Oh, New York Daily News - that explains it.

I feel bad for the kid and his family, but when you put your trust in the opinions of others (“He loved TikTok and just believed in all the fans and everybody that supported him and it meant a lot to him,” Tessie continued. “Sometimes he wouldn’t listen to me, he’d say, ‘I gotta do this TikTok!’ My heart is just so broken.”), you’re setting yourself up for a fall.

Just one random example of the decline and fall of our once-great civilization.
Clicks, followers, and likes. That’s the goal now of millions of our youth. TikTok, nothing good there.

That being said, rest in peace to this poor young man and peace for his family.

No more videos?

Florida Man’s Mom is pretty accurate there.

Being dead kind of ruins your chances of getting anymore “likes”.

Darn. The addiction people have to "going viral" on social media is so great that even a grieving mother gets in the act.
