The 23-year-old was hanging out the passenger window of 21-year-old John Hutcherson's car when Hutcherson drove off the road and sideswiped a telephone pole support wire, decapitating him. Hutcherson continued the final 12 miles (19 km) to his Atlanta home, parked in the driveway, and went to bed. A neighbor found Brohm's headless body in the truck the next morning

Ah, the makers of Hereditary (2018) must have got the idea from this event

There are a gaggle of teens that I have seen on more than one occasion driving in circles (not actual donuts thankfully) in the empty outer reaches of the Target parking lot, with one or more ppl sitting on the windowsills of their buddies' trucks, legs inside, torso etc outside. In this specific spot they are not in danger of utility pole support wires, but if they are this stupid in the first place... I fear they may one day win stupid prizes.
