Dylan Nuccio, a 17-year-old teenager, was tragically killed when his BMW luxury car crashed into trees on the way home from school during lunch break in Long Island, NY.
It is a tragedy accentuated because the victim was the son of a teacher y his father had died of COVID in 2021, he detailed CBS News. The accident happened on Tuesday and yesterday there was anguish and sadness inside and outside Plainedge High School, Nassau County. “Dylan was good friends with a lot of people at this school,” one student said.
The fatal accident occurred when, for unknown reasons, Nuccio went off the road and crashed into a grove of trees while driving without occupants. Some students brought messages to the site near a ramp leading to the Seaford-Oyster Bay Highway, a route the young man was familiar with to and from his family’s home in Farmingdale.
“He loved his car. “She just acquired it and got her license,” said Anthony De Mieri, a family friend. “We’re going to have to grieve and move on and hopefully we can remember him as the beautiful young star he was about to be.”
Grief is not new for the Nuccio family. The community rallied around them in 2021, when Dylan’s father, Thomas, lost his battle with COVID, leaving his wife Colleen, a school teacher, to raise her three children alone. Now she must bury her only son.
Fatal accidents on Long Island have increased nearly a third in the last four years and those where speed has been a factor have doubled, according to the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research (ITSMR), nonprofit university center dedicated to improving highway safety in New York State.
“This loss will surely raise many emotions, concerns and questions for our entire school community. “We are all working together to support our students and staff as we take time to process this heartbreaking loss,” Edward A. Salina said in a statement. Jr., superintendent of Plainedge schools. And he added that for now students will be prohibited from leaving campus for lunch.
The day before, at dawn on New Year’s Day, five people – most of them Hispanic – died in another dramatic road incident in Queens (NYC).
The authorities remember that there is zero tolerance for drivers who drive at excess speed and/or under the influence of alcohol and drugs..
Last month the New York Governor Kathy Hochulsigned the “Angelic Law”, intended to keep drivers with prior suspensions off the road by charging repeat offenders who operate vehicles after committing five or more traffic violations that resulted in prior suspensions or revocations as a felony.
