Justin McPherson, a young Black man, documented the aftermath of a freeway collision in which the at-fault driver appeared to feign a breakdown just prior to police arrival. Allegedly struck this summer by an unidentified white woman, McPherson approached her vehicle with his phone to request insurance details, only to find the tables turned as she assumed a victim posture.The incident gained widespread attention when McPherson shared a viral Instagram video captioned, “Karen in the wild in her natural habitat,” receiving hundreds of thousands of views since its August 21 posting.The footage depicted the woman weeping uncontrollably and slumped over her steering wheel, her confused dog observing nearby. McPherson, taken aback, reminded her, “You just hit my car.” As he calmly requested her insurance information, her response escalated into chaos, exclaiming, “Get away from me!” and thrashing about, all while opining about the approaching police. Comments poured in, reflecting skepticism about her authenticity; many speculated on her motivations, with one remarking on her apparent rehearsal for the authorities.
