Tears Over Beloved NJ Teen's Heartbreaking Loss 1 Day After Prom

Ribbons were tied to local signs and utility poles to pay tribute to the student, who died just one day after her New Jersey high school was celebrating at the prom.

And on the Facebook pages for those who knew her, profile photos were changed to that, too: White ribbons.

They paid tribute to a 17-year-old New Jersey high school student who was killed in a crash on Mother's Day weekend, police said. Three others were hurt.

Alexis "Lexi" Faye, 17, of Newton died when her Mercedes Benz ran off Route 611 at 5:37 p.m on Saturday in Fredon Township and overturned, police said.

Anthony Burke, 17, the driver, and Maria Fiore, 16, and Nicholas Chavarria, 17, were taken to Morristown Medical Center. Burke and Fiore were transported by helicopter and were later reported to be in serious condition, police said.

The accident was under investigation. A Meal Train was set up to help the family.

The New Jersey Herald reported that Alexis Faye is the daughter of Newton Board of Education member Joan Faye.

Newton Superintendent Ken Greene said the school will provide counselors this week, telling The New Jersey Herald that "this is hard for the whole community."

The school's schedule said the high school's senior and junior proms were on Friday.

Instead of celebrating that, local residents asked people to tie ribbons around trees, poles and mailboxes in honor of Lexi.
