Caleb Coffee: 5 Things To Know About The TikTok Star, 18, Who Survived Falling Onto Lava Rocks

Caleb Coffee is a teenage TikTok star. He suffered a fall while he was on a hike in Hawaii on Wednesday, Aug. 16. He fell from 60 to 80 feet on to a lava rock, and he was rushed to the hospital with neck and spine injuries. His older sister Peyton launched a GoFundMe to help cover her brother’s medical expenses since the fall. Caleb’s dad Jason Coffee gave a full breakdown of his son’s injuries on his Instagram story, revealing that he had “a small break in his neck,” a broken femur, a fractured wrist, and stitches in his head and lip.

A day after his injury, Caleb took to TikTok to show how he’s doing. “I just wanted to give a massive thank you to anyone that’s trying to help me or support me right now. I wanted to let you guys know a little update: I just found out that my neck and spine is not broken [sic],” he said. “So thank you so much, God, and I just want everybody to know that anyone that is supporting me, I really appreciate you guys, and I’m doing my best to get better.”
