Ryan Brown and her boyfriend, Malachi Etienne, were driving back to Brown’s house in Hudson, Florida, after a night out following their senior prom.
It was just before 2 a.m., and the high school seniors were less than five minutes from her home.
Brown, 18, was in the passenger seat, scrolling through TikTok videos she had filmed that night,
feeling carefree and content. But in an instant, everything changed.The last thing Brown remembers is looking down at her phone. Suddenly,
the car violently shook, and it felt as if they were spinning out of control.
