Someone Did the BIRD BOX Challenge While Driving & (Obviously) Crashed
Okay, things have officially gotten out of hand!
The Netflix Original Bird Box was December’s unlikely horror hit; the film involves an entity that will kill you if you look at it, so the characters learn (over time) how to perform difficult tasks blindfolded. Thus, the #BirdBoxChallenge was born. In an effort to create the next greatest meme, fans of the film attempted to go about their day-to-day activities blindfolded. Hilarity ensued but, in all seriousness, Netflix made a point of discouraging viewers from “playing” the game.

One sequence in Bird Box features characters driving a car with blacked-out windows using the vehicles GPS as a guide. Apparently, a 17-year-old in Utah figured, “Why not?” and, well, you can probably guess what happened. Obviously, she crashed! Though Layton Police haven’t reviewed the identity of the driver, they posted the aftermath of her attempt at the #BirdBoxChallenge.
“Bird Box Challenge while driving…predictable result. This happened on Monday as a result of the driver covering her eyes while driving on Layton Parkway. Luckily no injuries.”
Umm, yeah…

for hope and a new beginning, a woman and her children embark on a dangerous

chases them — and complete the trip blindfolded.
