Tragedy struck in the city as police responded to a terrible crash at the prominent intersection of North Main and Nesmith streets. Eyewitnesses reported two motorcycles traveling with a group just before the collision occurred on North Main Street. The car involved was making a turn onto North Main Street from Pinkerton Street when the incident took place. Sadly, Adam Platania, age 21, from Derry, lost his life at the scene, while Katina Skotis, age 20, from Litchfield, passed away at Elliot Hospital, leaving loved ones grieving.

The news of Sara’s brother’s son passing away is absolutely devastating. There are no words to describe the amount of pain and heartbreak they must be experiencing. It’s times like these that we can come together as a community and help our loved ones in need. Sara is taking the initiative to raise funds to cover the costs of Adam’s funeral and to support her brother and his wife during this difficult time.
