A TikTok influencer has avoided a prison sentence after crashing a supercar and failing to appear in court for nearly a year. Harrison Sullivan, known online as HSTikkyTokky, was driving “extremely fast” when he crashed in Virginia Water, Surrey, in March 2024.
The 24-year-old failed to attend court and instead spent 12 months in Thailand, Dubai and Spain, where he continued to post social media content. He was detained in Spain in August on unrelated matters and brought back to the UK by police.
In October, Sullivan pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance. On Friday, he received a one-year suspended custodial sentence at Staines Magistrates’ Court. He will also wear an electronic tag for three months and must complete 300 hours of unpaid work and 30 days of rehabilitation.
Witnesses reported Sullivan was travelling “at least 100mph or more” before the crash. Data from the McLaren indicated he was doing 71mph in a 40mph zone at the moment of impact. “It was going 30mph over the speed limit on a single carriageway in broad daylight with other road users,” said prosecutor Kane Alexander.
The fitness influencer is reportedly set to appear in a Louis Theroux documentary for Netflix exploring online misogyny. In a viral clip, Theroux recited Sullivan’s past remarks: “Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer – I’m all those things.” Sullivan responded, “That’s my way of saying I don’t care.”
The prosecution has applied for £18,049.47 to cover the cost of a chartered flight to bring Sullivan back to the UK. A costs hearing is scheduled for 15 January at Staines Magistrates’ Court.
