Overview
- The single-car crash in Sewickley Township, reported early Saturday, left four Yough High School students dead after the vehicle hit a tree and caught fire.
- The Westmoreland County coroner identified the students as Brady Hunker, 15, Felicity Martini, 15, Kylee Korber, 16, and driver Rocco Zugai, 18.
- Pennsylvania State Police said speed was a factor and are piecing together the hours before the crash, with the last confirmed contact around 1:30 a.m. and the 911 call reported around 3:30 a.m.
- The fire destroyed most of the car and on-scene evidence, so investigators relied on dental records and DNA for identification, and autopsy and toxicology results are pending.
- The school kept classes in person with counselors available, and community members built a roadside memorial as troopers asked anyone with information to come forward.
