Fatal Accident Claims Life
By R. Dobson-Efpatridis
Paul Young, witness at the scene, exclaimed, “I
heard a sickening crunch and then saw the
Brennan car lurch crazily out of control.”
Yesterday, at approximately 2:15 a.m., a fatal car
accident occurred at the corner of Alfred and
Thomas that claimed the life of a young teen, Miss
Amanda Sokolich.
Apparently, Mandy was a passenger in standard,
green Pontiac driven by her friend Simon Brennan.
Although Simon had passed through the traffic
lights successfully, another car failed to stop at the
intersection and crashed into the passenger side
of the car.
Officer Roberts stated, “Young Simon was taken to
Sunnybrook unconscious, but he will probably be
all right. Unfortunately, there is nothing the EMS
attendants could do for the young girl. Her family
must be in shock and sorrow.”
Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Sokolich
family for their tragic loss. The funeral service will
be closed and attended only by immediate friends
and family members on March 2. A memorial
service will be held on March 15 for the students
of Cobalt High School who wish to pay their
respects to the family.
