This is actually from GEOFF'S neck of the woods, but I saw the dead boy's grandfather interviewed, and he just broke my heart. The poor man could barely speak, he just cried. I couldn't believe that the news crew put him through that.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. - A highly regarded high school wrestler was killed and six others teens hurt when the car they were in struck a utility pole and overturned in Ocean County this weekend.

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.
