Teens charged after fatal TikTok table‑surfing stunts

Northampton County prosecutors charged two Pennsylvania teenagers after separate TikTok‑inspired driving stunts left a 17‑year‑old dead and a 20‑year‑old with catastrophic, likely permanent brain injuries. One victim, David Nagy, 17, died on June 1 after riding on a folding table tied to a car and being thrown into a parked vehicle; in the other March 18 incident a woman surfing on a trunk fell off and sustained severe head trauma. District Attorney Stephen Baratta called the conduct 'grossly negligent and reckless' and said his office will seek accountability while accommodating victims’ families’ wishes to focus on deterrence rather than incarceration if plea deals are accepted.
