Updated

An 18-year-old girl from Iowa wound up in intensive care after she tried and failed a viral dance move.

Anna Worden told news station WQAD that she and her friends decided to try the Kiki Challenge, which involves jumping out of a moving car while dancing to Drake’s “In My Feelings.”

"I tried, and the last thing I remember was opening the door. So apparently I got out and I tripped and fell and hit my head," Worden told the station.

She was airlifted to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a fractured skull, blood clots in her ear and bleeding in her brain.

Worden, who said she had been dancing since she was 3 years old, now has to relearn how to walk.

“I tried to do some little challenge everyone’s doing now,” she told WQAD, “and I’m the one that got majorly hurt.”

The Kiki Challenge was created by comedian Shiggy late last month, then echoed by thousands of people online, including Will Smith, Kevin Hart, Odell Beckham, Jr., Ciara and James Harden.
