TikTok personality Harrison Sullivan, better known as HSTikkyTokky to his 150,000 followers, has narrowly avoided prison after a dramatic high-speed crash in a McLaren supercar followed by nearly a year of international travel while wanted by authorities.
The Crash and Court No-Show
The 24-year-old social media influencer faced Staines Magistrates' Court on Friday after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance. The court heard how Sullivan lost control of his luxury vehicle in Virginia Water, Surrey, in March 2024 while travelling at excessive speeds.
Witnesses reported seeing the supercar travelling at "at least 100mph or more" along a single carriageway before the collision. Data retrieved from the McLaren itself confirmed Sullivan was driving at 71mph in a 40mph zone at the moment of impact.
Rather than face the consequences, Sullivan embarked on an international journey that would last 12 months, visiting destinations including Dubai, Thailand and Spain while continuing to produce social media content.
The International Manhunt and Capture
The influencer's travels came to an abrupt end in August when Spanish authorities detained him for unrelated matters. Surrey Police subsequently arranged a chartered flight to return Sullivan to the UK, where he was formally arrested.
The prosecution has applied for Sullivan to reimburse the police force £18,049.47 to cover the cost of his specialised return journey. A hearing to determine these costs is scheduled for 15 January at Staines Magistrates' Court.
Sentencing and Consequences
Appearing in court wearing a grey prison tracksuit, Sullivan received a one-year suspended custodial sentence along with a two-year driving disqualification. The court imposed additional measures including electronic tagging for three months, 300 hours of unpaid work and 30 days of rehabilitation.
In a letter presented to the judge, Sullivan described his passion for "spreading a positive message and helping people less fortunate than myself," claiming this work brought him the greatest happiness.
The case has drawn significant attention, particularly given Sullivan's planned appearance in a Netflix documentary exploring online misogyny, hosted by Louis Theroux. Previous viral clips show Theroux quoting Sullivan's controversial statement: "Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer - I'm all those things," to which Sullivan responded that this was his way of expressing indifference to public opinion.
