Two students killed in one-car wreck, four injured

Early yesterday morning, two students were killed in a one-car wreck, leaving four others injured on a trip through Lycoming County.

All students were members, or prospective members of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity

John Patrick “Johnny” Williamson Jr., 21, of Havertown, and Ian Alexander, 22, of Royersford, died in the 3:30 a.m. accident on Route 15, two miles south of Liberty, Pa., state police said in a written release. The young men had been headed south at the time of the accident, according to an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The article also reported that the four who survived the wreck, including the driver, Andrew Cardamone, 19, of Philadelphia, were all wearing seat belts. Cardamone and passengers Eric S. Rayburn, 18, of Quakertown, and Kevin A. MacDonald, 18, of Philadelphia, were taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, where they remained in serious condition last night. Adam Marsh, 20, of Collegeville, was airlifted to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, where he was in serious condition in the intensive care unit last night, according to the Inquirer.

According to Drexel spokesman Noah Cohen, Dave Ruth, dean of students met with the InterFraternity Council last night and Annette Molyneux of Drexel’s Counseling Center has been out there talking to students and working with family and friends.
