NewsUK News THE government has ordered TikTok and other social media platforms to take down “idiotic” daredevil content showing drivers speeding the wrong way down motorways. It comes after two cops were killed in a head-on collision with a VW Passat driven by a “TikTok joyrider” in the early hours of Saturday morning. Jacob Matusiak, who died in the crash, had previously filmed himself driving recklessly on TikTok Credit: Facebook/Jakub Hewitt Tributes flooded in for PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, who died at the scene in Cleveland, Yorkshire. The five young men in the Passat were also killed in the horror crash and have since been named as Michael Robert Cahill, 23, Theo Rae, 17, Cole Robert Worthy, 17, Jacob Matusiak, 23, and Makai Saddington, 18. Sign up for The Sun newsletter Thank you! The A66 tragedy has prompted fears the men may have been taking part in a rapidly-spreading TikTok trend which encourages reckless driving. TikTok footage has since emerged showing Matusiak driving dangerously in the months leading up to the crash. It follows a similar head-on collision in Co Kildare in Ireland on August 16, which left five young men dead and a family hospitalised.
