Kaitlyn Strom, 19, from Minnesota had a rather memorable time at a music festival the past weekend. She was at the Winstock Country Music Festival on Friday, when the teen had a few beverages and though it would be a good idea to explore the inside of a tailpipe. She got her head stuck inside the exhaust pipe of a truck and was unable to pull it out, resulting in fire crews freeing her with an electric saw and the video went viral on social media.

“We were just all having fun and I saw this big exhaust pipe and I was like, ‘Hey, my head could probably fit in that’,” she told the Hutchinson Leader. “So, I tried it. it did fit, but it didn’t want to come back out.” Strom estimated she spent 45 minutes inside the pipe and said she was finally rescued when firefighters used a power saw, according to Minneapolis station.

The McLeod County Sheriff’s said they cited the 19-year-old for underage drinking after she was freed. One person she said was surprisingly kind was Tom Wold of Darwin, the owner of the truck. “I did not know him, but everyone who was around me knew him,” she told the paper. “He was wonderful. I remember getting my head unstuck, and I just looked at him and apologised, and he said, ‘No, I’m just glad you’re OK. Don’t worry about it’. He has already fixed his exhaust and is going to be working on that. I did not have to pay for anything like that because he was absolutely wonderful.” She posted a photo of herself and Wold on Saturday where she owned up to the experience.

Strom didn’t expect for the video to go viral, but she’s not surprised. “A lot of people don’t realise how serious it was,” she told the Leader. “So, it’s kind of expected when it’s blasted on the internet that you’re going to get negative comments, some people can really be cruel.” The video has been viewed more than 2.3 million times as of Wednesday. That was one ‘trucked-up’ situation!
