A PENNSYLVANIA teenager has been killed in a TikTok-inspired stunt gone wrong after being hurled from a makeshift ride strapped to a car.
David Nagy, 17, was taking part in a dangerous “table surfing” challenge when tragedy struck on June 1 in the parking lot of Bethlehem’s Freedom High School.
Police say a 17-year-old friend tied an upside-down folding table to the back of his car and drove recklessly around the lot while Nagy clung to it.
But the vehicle whipped Nagy into a parked car with such force that he suffered fatal head injuries.
Northampton County District Attorney Stephen Baratta said in a statement: “The driver recklessly operated his vehicle at significant speed such that it whipped the rider sitting on the table into another parked vehicle, resulting in [his] death.”
