Accident victims in Spalding County, GA are suing Snapchat, as well as the driver responsible for the accident.
The suit alleges that the app’s “speed filter,” which can post the speed that which a picture was taken, encouraged driver Christal McGee to attempt to reach 100 miles per hour in her car, leading to the accident that caused both Wentworth and Karen Maynard serious injuries.
The suit alleges Wentworth Maynard suffered including brain damage in the incident. McGee posted a photo of herself in a cervical collar on the way to the hospital, saying that she was “lucky to be alive.” Snapchat has not commented on the lawsuit
