New Jersey brothers killed in a car accident
Aaron Davis, 23, of Cranbury, and Joshua Davis, 22, of East Windsor, were riding in the back seat of car that flew over an overpass in the Port Richmond section of the city on Friday, March 21, shortly after 10 p.m., officials said.
Their 18-year-old brothers, one of whom was driving, were injured in the crash. A puppy was inside the vehicle as well and was killed.
The car carrying the brothers hit the guardrail, overturned numerous times and plunged 20 to 30 feet, authorities said.
The family has described the brothers as gentlemen and Christians who will truly be missed.
“Josh and Aaron were true gentlemen—thoughtful, dependable, and deeply loved by all who knew them. They served with humility and dedication outside of church, always conducting themselves with respect, responsibility, and grace. They were pursuing their education and entrepreneurial ventures, coming into their own, and beginning to realize the limitless nature of their potential,” the GoFundMe read.
GoFundMe
The fundraiser will assist with funeral expenses, memorial arrangements, and other urgent needs the family may encounter in the coming days. It will also support the care of their surviving brothers, who are now on the road to recovery.
