This is the moment four teens in Minnesota crashed a stolen Kia against the median of an interstate before frantically running across traffic in an attempt to avoid arrest.
The incident may be part of a troubling TikTok trend that has promoted and instructed on ways of hotwiring Kia and Hyundai vehicles with as little as a USB cable.
Law enforcement agencies across the country have raised concerns about the trend, which began on TikTok in 2021 courtesy of a Milwaukee based group known as the 'Kia Boyz.'
The thefts generally involve Kia's newer than 2011 and Hyundai's newer than 2015. The cars typically do not have immobilizers and can be accessed through backdoors without setting off alarms.
This most recent incident occurred in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday afternoon along Interstate 35E Northbound.
According to Fox 9, the driver was trying to evade police tire deflation device when he began running up against the wall.
The video shows the car smoking and the four teens, a 14-year-old boy, and three girls ages 15-17, running across the busy highway. All four were eventually arrested by state troopers.
One girl is seen running into a black SUV as the group heads towards the off ramp. Two of the girls suffered injuries and were treated in a local hospital.
St. Paul Police Public Information Officer Mike Ernster told Fox 9 that around 5:30 pm on August 6, police received a call from a Minneapolis rental company who said that a 2021 Kia Forte had been stolen. The GPS indicated that the car was in St. Paul.
A state police helicopter was deployed and quickly located the car in a residential area in the city. Police cruisers went to the area and converged on the Kia.

“The GPS indicated that the car was in St. Paul. “
Is this just for rental cars? How many models will tell the law where you were on Jan 6?
Any gm with OnStar will eat you out just like a cell phone.
Hyundai has blue link that is like OnStar too
>> a 14-year-old boy, and three girls ages 15-17
Not that anyone of us in our JD years would ever think of doing this, but if so, there would be NO girls involved — right there is the Darwin award.
FAT AZZED AMISH..
OnStar will WHAT??
The thefts generally involve Kia's newer than 2011 and Hyundai's newer than 2015.
Is a journalism job the adult version of a participation trophy?
I saw that too. 😂
And cell phones as well? Mine doesn’t do that. 😏 (To my knowledge…)
rat..
I hate Google
What was the race of the black people who committed this crime?
Kia should be held accountable for this. The should be forced to recall everyone of these and fix them so this can’t happen.
Stupidity should come with a price.
“Any gm with OnStar will eat you out just like a cell phone.”
Kinky.... is this some new tech that I’m unaware of.
LMAO at the massive hambeast who is clearly in no shape to run from the cops. Appears to be a fat black girl, she can barely run across the interstate before her body says, “No mo runnin’ fo me!”
These animals are only bred because our taxes feed them.
“Black leaders” decried the 1996 Welfare Reform because they felt it accused blacks of breeding for cash, they went silent afterwards when it turned out to be true - and their birthrate plummeted.
