Law enforcement officials in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, have charged two young drivers in connection with dangerous TikTok challenge videos that led to devastating outcomes.

June 1, 2025: 17-year-old David Nagy was killed while riding on a table tied upside down to the back of a car. The driver allegedly whipped the table into a parked vehicle while filming for social media, causing fatal head injuries. That driver is now facing involuntary manslaughter charges.

 

March 18, 2025: In a separate incident, a 19-year-old woman allowed a friend to “car surf” on the trunk of her vehicle while attempting another challenge. The passenger was thrown from the car and suffered a permanent brain injury. The driver has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated assault by vehicle.

 

Officials stressed that these incidents are a sobering reminder of how quickly a social media stunt can turn deadly, leaving lasting harm for everyone involved.

 

Parents are encouraged to use this story as an opportunity to talk with their teens about the risks of online challenges. Remind them that while many videos may look entertaining, these stunts can lead to irreversible injury or even death. 

This year, four of our outstanding Baird High School students — PJ Luper, Kyera Byars, Brooklyn Manasco, and Kendell Miller — worked under the mentorship of Gloria Dayton and Lori Higgins to complete a project that will have a lasting impact on our community.

Through the TMCN Leadership Program, these students gave their summer, their energy, and their hearts to create a new Whistlestop Pocket Park downtown. Their work not only provided a safe outdoor space for the Little Bear Learning Academy but also strengthened childcare access for families, which is vital to the growth of Baird schools, businesses, and our community as a whole.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to the students and their families, our mentors and leaders, and all the sponsors and supporters who invested in this project. Your dedication helps make Baird an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
