A New Hampshire teen has been credited with saving a boy more than 800 miles (1,290 kilometers) away � thanks to TikTok.
Caden Cotnoir, 13, was watching a TikTok livestream of Trent Jarrett, 12, riding a four-wheeler in West Virginia, when something went awry, WMUR-TV reported.
�All of a sudden his phone goes kind of blank, you can see a little bit of light and you can just hear him yelling for help,� Caden said.
Caden said he could hear Trent yelling out numbers.
�I was yelling out my grandparent�s house phone number,� Trent said, adding it was the only number he could remember.
Caden made a virtual call for help and Trent�s parents managed to find him and lift the ATV off him. After being trapped for about 20 minutes, he sustained minor cuts and bruises.
�He did was he was supposed to do and got the right people and it worked out. It was an Easter miracle,� Caden�s stepfather, Gilmanton Police Chief Matt Currier, said of him.
Caden had followed Trent because of the boys� shared interests, including hunting and fishing, the station reported. The two met via Zoom on Monday, and Trent said he�d like to thank Caden for everything he did.

Glad to hear a happy ending.
But was the ATV driver texting while driving?
