Whatever you call it, the--#KekeChallenge, #ShiggyChallenge, #InMyFeelingsChallenge-- is taking social media by storm.
Our Verify team was told a suspicious video showed a woman getting seriously injured. The woman hops out of the driver's seat, starting to dance and getting run over by a white sedan.
The Instagram video has been viewed more than 400,000 times from the woman's accounts alone. But rumors remain--is it legit or visual trick?
Warning the video below contains sensitive content.

The woman identified as Kari Miller of California, mentions offhand in the caption that the video was 'edited' by a friend.
Her friend, a professional photographer and videographer, uploaded the same video with the caption: "When internet challenges go wrong.. (Video is edited! NOT REAL) Be careful when dancing in the street!!!"
Still the young woman has been fielding questions about whether she's actually alive, and tweeted this a day later.
In this case, the terrifying video proved to be a prank, but some people are getting seriously injured from this fad. People are trying to one-up the other, jumping out of moving vehicles in a craze dubbed, "Draking and Driving."
The challenge was popularized by comedian Shiggy who filmed the challenge dancing in the street with cars passing by. He didn't get out of a moving car for his challenge, which was shared over 6.2 million times.

So the Instagram video showing a woman being plowed down by a car during the #KekeChallenge is that's fake, but talk your teen about Draking and Driving.
