West Orange Brothers Leave Hospital After Violent Car Crash

WEST ORANGE, NJ — After brothers Larry and Michael Verducci got out of the hospital, they had one place in mind for their first stop: West Orange High School.

Earlier this week, the Verducci brothers were released from the hospital following a violent car crash that took place in November, administrators in the West Orange Public School District reported.

The crash, which happened in the borough of Franklin, left both siblings with serious injuries. An online fundraiser to benefit the Verduccis garnered more than $25,000.
