(Sutersville, PA) A memorial service was held last night in Sutersville, Pennsylvania to remember the four Yough High School students who were killed in a fiery crash on Saturday. The Sutersville Primitive Methodist Church had invited the community to come there to honor the lives of the teenagers who passed away and have a time of healing, prayer, and reflection in the wake of the crash. This crash was reported near Creek Road in Sewickley Township of Westmoreland County just before 3:30 a.m. State police confirm that the vehicle left the roadway before hitting a tree and becoming covered in flames. The victims were identified on Sunday. Eighteen-year-old Rocco Zugai, along with a sixteen-year-old girl, a fifteen-year-old girl and a fifteen-year-old boy, were killed as a result of this crash. A community candlelight vigil to honor them is also being held at the Crabapple Community Park in Sewickley Township tonight at 7 p.m. The investigation into the deadly crash is still underway, but Pennsylvania State Police have confirmed that speed was a factor in it. Troopers expressed earlier this week that they are working to make a timeline of what led up to this crash, and anyone with information about it is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police at 724-832-3288.
