TOMS RIVER, N.J.
Toms River police say 17-year-old Anthony Casselli of Roselle
Park, a passenger in the vehicle driven by another 17-year-old,
died Sunday afternoon at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in
Neptune. Casselli had competed in the state wrestling championships
earlier this month, reaching the pre-quarterfinals round.
It's not clear what caused the crash, which occurred at about
9:30 p.m. Saturday in the southbound lanes of Route 35 and shut
down the roadway for several hours.
At least one other teen remained hospitalized Sunday night, but
further details on the teens' injuries were not immediately
available.
Authorities say all seven victims were from Roselle Park and
ranged in age from 14 to 18.
