The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is warning of the dangers of “car surfing” after responding to several calls — including a deadly crash — in the past few weeks.
Car surfing is when someone rides on the outside of a moving vehicle. The sheriff’s office says deputies have responded to six car surfing calls in the past several weeks.
On April 17, a deputy spotted two teenagers sitting on the roof of a car via the sunroof. The car was traveling more than 55 mph on C470 near South Quebec Street, DCSO said.
