What happens when a routine drive turns into a dangerous chase involving a child behind the wheel?
A Columbus woman named Germia Pa’Cha Dowling shared a startling video on social media that shows just that. She claims a young girl nearly collided with her vehicle while racing down the freeway at 95 miles per hour. The clip, which has spread quickly online, captures the alleged driver smoking what Dowling calls a blunt as she weaves through traffic.
The footage lasts about 32 seconds and was taken at night. It starts with Dowling’s voice pointing out the silver sedan ahead. She says,
“Look at that little girl,”
and adds,
“She got a blunt in her mouth.”
The video shows the other car braking hard and speeding up again.
Dowling questions whose child this is and wonders how the girl could have stolen a whole car. Her caption on the original Facebook post expresses frustration over poor parental supervision and calls for the girl to face consequences. The post first appeared on Facebook before it was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the account @KollegeKidd on September 10, 2025. By the next day, it had gained over 41,000 views, along with likes, reposts, and comments from shocked viewers.
Some users reacted with disbelief, while others shared concerns about road safety. Despite the attention, no official police reports or arrests linked to this event have surfaced yet. Details like the girl’s exact age or the car’s status as stolen remain unclear. The driver is not fully visible in the dim light, but Dowling describes her as a “little girl” who acts boldly on the road.
This raises questions about underage driving and possible marijuana use, which is legal for adults in Ohio but banned for minors or while operating vehicles. This incident fits into a larger pattern of youth-related car thefts in Columbus. Local records show thousands of vehicles stolen each year, with many involving teens. For example, groups like the “Kia Boys” have targeted certain models for joyrides, leading to chases and crashes.
Police have noted a rise in such cases, often tied to social media challenges that encourage risky behavior.
