Matt Lauer's daughter posted on TikTok before she crashed her car.
Yikes! Matt Lauer's daughter, Romy, coincidentally shared a quote about racing just hours before she crashed her car in the Hamptons over the Fourth of July weekend.
In a TikTok post from July 4, the famous offspring and her two friends mouthed the words to Kevin James' voiceover that said, "I just got three things to say: God bless our troops, God bless America and gentleman, start your engines!"
Matt Lauer's daughter, Romy, was seen dining at a Hamptons restaurant before she crashed her car.
As OK! reported, the college student, 20, fled the scene after she crashed her Jeep Wrangler into a fence and a sign — however, the license plate came off the car in the process and was left at the crash sight, leading cops to to identify her.
The daughter of the Today alum, 66, and ex-wife Annette Roque, 57, was issued a summons for leaving the scene of an accident and was given a ticket.
A source told a news outlet that police received a call around 4 a.m. on July 5 after hearing a loud noise nearby on their street and feared someone was injured.
The 20-year-old fled the crash site, but authorities were able to identify her because the car's license plate fell off and was left behind.

Though Matt remained unemployed since then, an insider claimed earlier this year that he feels "enough time has passed" that he can make a comeback.
"He’s started to talk to people. He’s planning his next act, still very upset with how he was portrayed, and still feels like he was the victim," the source told a news outlet. "He wants to be relevant again; what that is exactly is yet to be decided."

"He went from being the biggest guy out there, and now every headline [attached to him] is ‘disgraced;’ it’s very painful for him to go out there with his girlfriend [Shamin Abas]," the insider continued. "He’s very thin skinned — don’t expect an apology, he’s the one who feels is owed an apology."
