Woman indicted in Fairbanks man's 'car surfing' death

FAIRBANKS -- A manslaughter charge has been filed against a 39-year-old woman involved in the "car-surfing" death of a Fairbanks man.

Prosecutor Mike Gray says an indictment was sought against Samantha Lee Randolph because the June 10 accident on Chena Hot Springs Road was caused by "extreme recklessness."

Court records show Randolph has yet to retain an attorney.

Car surfing is when a person stands on the hood of a moving vehicle.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that Roman Retynski was considered something of a daredevil by friends and relatives. His mother said he might have car surfed as many as 100 times since he was a teenager.
