On Sunday, March 9, 2025, a tragic chain-reaction crash on Route 55 in Glassboro, New Jersey, resulted in the deaths of three teenagers.
Brendan Cary, 19, Dominic Reyes, 19, and an unnamed 17-year-old boy were in a Honda when they collided with another vehicle, setting off a deadly sequence of events.
Cary, the driver, lost control after rear-ending a Honda CRV, causing his car to veer onto the shoulder and crash into a stationary minivan, which overturned with four passengers inside.
The three teens were killed at the scene, and the 17-year-old boy succumbed to his injuries later that night at the hospital.
The minivan’s occupants were also injured, with the driver suffering serious injuries and the children sustaining minor wounds.

Cary and Reyes had close ties to the community—Reyes was a recent graduate of Delsea Regional High School, and Cary was still a student.

The Delsea Regional School District expressed their heartbreak at the loss of two beloved students and one former student, with Superintendent Fran Ciociola offering his condolences to the affected families.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is still ongoing.
