Two Teens Dead After Crash With Milford Cop

ORANGE -- Two local teenagers were killed in an early-morning crash on Route 1 when their car collided with a Milford police cruiser driven by an officer returning from helping West Haven police quell a disturbance.

The 3 a.m. crash, at the intersection of Dogwood Road, left David P. Servin, 19, of Sheldon Court, dead at the scene. The vehicle's other occupant, Ashlie M. Krakowski, 19, of Fernbrook Road, was extricated from the wreckage, but later pronounced dead at the Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven.

The driver of the Milford cruiser, Officer Jason Anderson, was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Anderson was returning to Milford from West Haven, where Milford officers had been dispatched to join police from area communities in assisting West Haven handle a disturbance.

His cruiser collided with the teens' vehicle, traveling in the opposite direction, when their vehicle made a left turn into the path of the patrol car, police said.

The accident is being investigated by State Police at the request of the Orange police chief.

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.
