It appears “they were just kind of out for a joyride, horsing around like kids do,” said Cpl. Phil DiLuca of the Clinton Police Department.
No charges have yet been filed in the case, but the police department is consulting with the district attorney’s office, DiLuca said.
The police are working with local residents who have provided information to try to reconstruct a 24-hour timeline of events that ended in the crash, DiLuca said. At least one of the youths in the vehicle was not wearing a seatbelt, he said
DiLuca said the driver has been released from a hospital, but Wilson had not been released as of Tuesday morning.
All three victims have GoFundMe pages set up to help their families. The Baker family GoFundMe has raised more than $19,000, while the Porfirio GoFundMe has raised more than $4,200
