LWD – livestreaming while driving – is why TikToker Tea Time is behind bars on Christmas Eve… almost two months after she allegedly ran over a pedestrian, police took her into custody.
Tea time – or Tynesha McCarty-writtenIRL – was arrested Tuesday in Zion, Illinois and booked with two felonies…reckless homicide and aggravated use of communications resulting in death.
As that second count details… police say Tynesha was livestreaming in the suburb north of Chicago while driving on Nov. 3 and came across a 59-year-old. Darren Lucas while walking through an intersection.

That could be possible on her stream hear clearly a thud, and then she said, “F***, f***, f***, I just hit someone.” You could also hear a child in the car asking what happened… and then the power was turned off.
Police say Tynesha called 911 and stayed at the scene to talk to police. Darren was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Although TikTok doesn’t allow users to live stream while driving, many people have come up with a workaround by using a custom green screen background.
