Tyler Brown, 17, killed and John W. Kirsch, 18, Julio Gallegos, 52, Carolina Garcia, 30, and Kelly Muschiatti, 17, injured in collision involving semi truck on U.S. Route 301 near Middletown, Delaware

The accident occurred when a 2005 Dodge Dakota, driven by John W. Kirsch, 18, proceeded from the stop sign on Strawberry Lane and attempted to cross the lanes of Route 301, Bratz said. Kirsch, of Middletown, pulled into the path of a Kenworth Tractor Trailer driven by Julio Gallegos, a 52 of New Jersey, he said.

The tractor trailer struck the right passenger side of the truck in the intersection sending the truck spinning, Bratz said. The tractor trailer came to a rest on its left side, he said.

While police did not give the name of the 17-year-old who died as a result of the crash, the principal of Salesianum School identified the teen as Tyler Brown, a senior at the private school.

"Let us pray for Kelly, that she may recover from her injuries, and for the Padua community in their own moment of sadness and adversity. And let us pray for John, who will need our love and support more than ever," Salesianum principal Fr. Chris Beretta wrote in a released statement.

Salesianum School held a Mass to pray for Tyler Brown of Woolwich, who was a senior at the school, and two other teens injured in the crash Friday night in Delaware.

Brown, 17, was remembered as an outstanding student and athlete. He was a player for the wrestling and rugby teams and was a member of the Model United Nations Club at the school.

Kelly Muschiatti, 17, a senior at Padua Academy in Wilmington, Del., was a passenger in the back seat during the accident. She remains in serious condition, according to Beretta.

The well liked 17-year-old student athlete had been accepted to Syracuse University to study architectural design, and told his parents that after college he had hopes of joining the Peace Corps.

"Salesianum is a special community and Tyler will be missed by all of his brothers," said Kim Maguire, who attended the funeral to show support for Brown's family. Maguire's son also attends the school.

Salesianum announced Monday that a newly created summer camp for low-income youth will be named in honor of senior Tyler Ritchie Brown, who died in a car crash in March.

On Thursday, after about six hours of deliberation, a jury found John Kirsch not guilty on a charge of vehicular homicide in a March crash that killed classmate, Tyler Brown, of Woolwich Township, delawareonline.com reported.
