Milford Teens Lose Their Life In Car Accident.

At 6 A.M. this morning I received news of a horrible tragedy from the town kids. They were very saddened and upset by the news. The school indicated that they were responding with Grief counselors today at both High Schools and the Middle Schools to help affected kids with their sorrow.

As I understand it, this horrible tragedy occurred, at approximately 7:30 P.M. Last night two teenagers were killed, and another teen was seriously injured after Shaw Foley's 1990 Nissan 240SX crashed into a utility pole in the parking lot of the Connecticut Post Mall.

Also involved in the accident was Jonathan Dolceacqua, 18, and Michael Vicino, 16, both students from Milford's Jonathan Law High School.

Michael Vicino, 16, the only survivor is also from Milford, is currently in critical condition at Bridgeport Hospital. Vicino is a student at Bullard Haven Technical School in Bridgeport.

The Accident occurred when Foley, who was traveling from the front of the mall to the back and lost control of his vehicle. Police reports indicate that Foley tried passing another car as they approached a curve by "Target." Foley's car then hit a utility pole that demolished the vehicle.

The accident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Milford Police at (203)878-6551. Also there will be a 2:00 Press conference today at the Milford Police Department. The conference will be led by officer Dumas. The vehicle is also in police custody pending the completion of their investigation.

All three students will remain in our prayers and I offer the deepest of sympathy and sorrow to the parents who have lost their children last night.

Half of this story isnt even true Mike and Shawn werent the only 2 in the car the third kid [& second to die] was Jonathan Dolceacqua.
Mike went is going to a tech school and Jonathan went to Jonathan Law.
And Mike is still alive and okay, he's NOT dead.
I really think who ever put this up should get their story straight befrore posting false information.

Mike Vicino has actually passed away this morning, and this time it is not a rumor. I attend Jonathan Law and it was announced today...It's horrible that we lost another good soul. =(

God saw you getting weak,
A cure was not to be.
He put his arms around you
and whispered come to me.
Please, God keep your arms
around
him and give him special care.
Make up for all he had
suffered
and all that was unfair.
Please find the softest pillow Lord,
to rest his head upon,
and put a kiss upon his cheek
and tell him whos it from
