Waukesha — Sussex teenager Michael Hollnagel was charged with homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle today for the death of 16-year-old Brian Jackson of Menomonee Falls who had been "surfing" on the hood of the car Hollnagel was driving.

The 17-year-old Hollnagel faces a 10-year prison term if convicted in the death of his friend and fellow Hamilton High School wrestling teammate.

Hollnagel crashed the car into a tree around 9:30 p.m. on Fair Oak Parkway west of Hickory Tree Lane, Menomonee Falls Police said.

Assistant District Attorney Pablo Galaviz told Court Commissioner Thomas Pieper that the vehicle had been traveling between 50 and 60 mph when Jackson was thrown from the hood. Jackson died on a helicopter taking him to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, according to the district attorney's criminal complaint.

Pieper set Hollnagel's bail at $1,000 cash and a $10,000 signature bond and ordered him not to drive unless he needed a car to get to or from work or attend a class.
