A college student mourns the death of three of his family members who died in a tragic crash on August 14. The family was watching a concert at the Jersey Shore and died while driving back home in a tragic crash on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey.
Per PEOPLE, according to the New Jersey State Police, on the night of Saturday, September 14, David Dryerman, 54, was driving a Tesla Model S northbound. He was on the Garden State Parkway in Woodbridge Township when the vehicle veered off the road. It struck a sign, a guardrail, and a concrete bridge support.
David, along with his wife Michele Dryerman, 54, and their 17-year-old daughter Brooke, died from the injuries sustained in the accident. The crash is still under investigation, and no further details have been released at this time.
The family had spent the day attending the See. Hear. Now. Festival to enjoy live music just hours before the accident.
There was one immediate family member not with The Dryerman’s when the tragedy occurred. Their son Max (19) was away at college at the time of the accident.
Max set up a GoFundMe to help with costs and to support charities. Up to this point over $131,000 has been raised.
“A gift to support Max Dryerman in his time of need, in loving memory of Michele, David, and Brooke. Donations will go to support Max as he returns to college as well as charities of Max’s choice. He’s considering donating to Camp Raspberry, an after school program for children with special needs. Brooke served as co-president of the Pascack Hills High School chapter. Max would also like to donate to an organization supporting teens battling anxiety and depression, as well as to Jewish causes.”
Several tributes posted on social media.
Rest In Peace.
