TikTok Star's High-Speed Supercar Crash Ends in Suspended Sentence
A prominent TikTok influencer has avoided immediate imprisonment after crashing his luxury supercar at extreme speeds and then spending nearly a year abroad while wanted by authorities.
Harrison Sullivan, the 24-year-old behind the popular HSTikkyTokky account, appeared at Staines Magistrates' Court on Friday wearing a grey prison tracksuit to receive his sentence.
The Crash and International Flight
The court heard how Sullivan was driving his McLaren at dangerous speeds through Virginia Water, Surrey, in March 2024 before losing control and crashing the vehicle.
Multiple witnesses reported seeing the social media personality travelling at what they estimated to be at least 100mph on a single carriageway during broad daylight with other road users present.
Data recovered from the damaged supercar confirmed Sullivan was travelling at 71mph in a 40mph zone at the moment of impact, according to prosecutor Kane Alexander.
Rather than face the consequences, Sullivan failed to appear in court and spent the following twelve months in Dubai, Thailand, and Spain, continuing to create social media content throughout his time abroad.
International Arrest and Return to UK
The influencer's international run ended in August when Spanish authorities detained him for unrelated matters.
Surrey Police subsequently arranged a chartered flight to bring Sullivan back to the UK, where he was immediately arrested upon arrival.
The prosecution has applied for £18,049.47 to be paid to Surrey Police to cover the cost of this specialised transport, with a costs hearing scheduled for January 15 at Staines Magistrates' Court.
Court Sentencing and Documentary Connection
During Friday's hearing, Sullivan received a one-year suspended custodial sentence and has been disqualified from driving for two years.
Additional penalties include wearing an electronic tag for three months, completing 300 hours of unpaid work, and undertaking 30 days of rehabilitation.
The court proceedings gained additional attention due to Sullivan's expected appearance in an upcoming Louis Theroux documentary for Netflix that explores online misogyny's impact on young boys.
In a viral clip from the documentary, Theroux recites Sullivan's previous remark: 'Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer - I'm all those things.'
Sullivan explained this was his way of saying 'I don't care' about others' opinions of him.
Despite this public persona, Sullivan wrote in a letter to the judge that 'spreading a positive message and helping people less fortunate than myself, that's what makes me the happiest.'
Last month, the influencer formally pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance charges.
Several family members and friends attended the court hearing in support of Sullivan, where they received warnings to keep their mobile phones switched off during proceedings.
