Mystery Surrounds Fiery Crash That Killed 4 Pittsburgh-Area Teens

PITTSBURGH, PA — Police are searching for answers in the fiery crash that claimed the lives of four Pittsburgh-area high school students over the weekend.

Pennsylvania State Police are seeking information on the whereabouts of the Yough High School crash victims before the crash and where they were going when it occurred.

The fatal incident was first reported at around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday by a passing motorist who saw the car on fire, TribLive reported. But the accident is believed to have occurred much earlier.

The crash occurred on Derr Road in New Sewickley Township when a vehicle hit a tree and caught fire.

The Westmoreland County Coroner's Office has identified the victims as Rocco Zugai, 18; Kylee Nicole Korber, 16; Brady Hunter, 15; and Felicity Martini, 15.

DNA analysis was required to identify the victims.

Yough Superintendent Anthony DeMaro released an updated statement Monday on the tragedy via the district website.

"We take a moment to remember the lives of Brady, Felicity, Kylee, and Rocco. Our hearts are with their families, friends, classmates, and all who are grieving this unimaginable loss," he said.

"Additional counselors and support staff have been available in our schools and will continue to be in the days ahead. We encourage anyone who may be struggling to reach out and utilize these supports.

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of kindness, love, and support from our school community and beyond. There have been countless individuals, school districts, organizations, places of worship, and agencies in our county and throughout the region who have reached out and lifted our community up in so many ways—far too many to name. Your compassion and generosity have meant more than words can express during this difficult time."

A GoFundMe page has been established to aid Felicity Martini's mother, Heather, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

"Over the next few weeks, Heather faces overwhelming costs associated with both the funeral and her own treatment," the page states.

"If you are able, please consider donating to support Heather financially, so that she can focus on what matters most: mourning the passing of her youngest child in peace and with dignity."
