On March 9, 2025, a tragic three-vehicle crash on Route 55 in Glassboro, New Jersey, claimed the lives of 19-year-olds Brendan Cary and Dominic Reyes.
The accident unfolded around 4:17 p.m. when Cary lost control of his Honda, colliding with a disabled Honda CRV on the shoulder.
The driver of the disabled minivan suffered serious injuries, while her three children sustained minor injuries during the incident.
The community continues to grieve the loss of the three teens and the injuries suffered by the mother and children involved in the accident.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing, with the New Jersey State Police continuing to seek further details about the incident.
This incident is part of a devastating weekend in New Jersey, where four fatal crashes resulted in seven deaths overall.
Funeral services for Cary and Reyes are scheduled for March 15, 2025, and a balloon release was held at Delsea High School on March 11 to honor their memory.
