Two teenagers in Pennsylvania have been charged after a 17-year-old lost his life and a 20-year-old sustained severe head injuries while participating in dangerous TikTok trends.
Northampton County District Attorney Stephen Baratta announced the charges in a press conference on Tuesday (September 22), stating that the county has had “two criminal investigations involving the dangerous and reckless use of an automobile to create what are known as stunt challenges.”
Baratta said involuntary manslaughter charges were brought against a 17-year-old male driver following a stunt challenge held on June 1 at the Freedom High School parking lot.
