Family of 9 turns to TikTok after 3 siblings killed by drunken driver

A Louisiana family has turned to TikTok and other forms of social media to share their story and spread awareness after the three youngest of their nine children were killed by a drunken driver in 2021.

TikTok star Caleb Coffee was sent to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon after falling 60 to 80-feet off a cliff onto lava rock in Hawaii, according to a family member.

Caleb Coffee’s sister, Peyton Coffee, wrote in a GoFundMe that he fell off the 60 to 80-foot cliff on Wednesday at around 2 p.m. while he was with three of his friends on a hike and fell onto lava rock.

Following the fall, Caleb Coffee was airlifted to the emergency room, where his injuries included a broken femur, elbow, wrist, as well as multiple gouges and burns throughout his body.

Peyton Coffee also said his brother hasn’t been able to hold down food and is in “excruciating pain.”

The GoFundMe has a goal amount of $100,000, as Caleb Coffee doesn’t have medical insurance. Over $21,000 has already been raised as of Saturday afternoon.

“60 to 80 feet…I can’t even fathom that.”

“Unfortunately Caleb did not have medical insurance and we can not afford these medical bills that is why we are making this go fund me,” Peyton Coffee wrote.

In an update posted to his TikTok account, which has 11.1 million followers, Caleb Coffee said that his neck and spine aren’t broken and thanked people for supporting him.

“60 to 80 feet…I can’t even fathom that,” he continued. “I don’t even remember. I just woke up and I thought I was gonna die.”
