Loved ones are mourning three Bridgeton high school students, including two girls who died in a car accident after attending their prom.
A memorial service was held Wednesday at 6:45 p.m. at the Bridgeton Assembly of God on Indian Avenue for Daisia Sulton, Mikayla Mosley and Luz de la Cruz-Antonio. Another memorial for the teens was held at the Bridgeton High School football stadium at 8 p.m.
Sulton, 17, and Mosley, 15, both of Bridgeton, were on their way home from a post-prom celebration in Ocean City with two other teens about 3:45 a.m. Saturday when Sulton lost control of the car on Route 49, crossed the median and struck a tree. Sulton and Mosley both died at the scene while the two other teens were critically injured and remain in the hospital.
“I was just looking at her that night and who would have known that would be my last time,” said Na’Lon Rumph, Mosley’s cousin.
Cruz-Antonio, 18, another Bridgeton student, died in a separate car crash on Route 77 in Upper Pittsgrove Township in April.
“Something like this is devastating to the entire community and so we have to be there for each other,” said Bridgeton Mayor Albert Kelly.
On Saturday a viewing and funeral for Mosley were held at Union Baptist Temple in Bridgeton followed by a burial at Laurel Lawn Cemetery.
"She was just so bubbly," said Mosley's grandmother, Jean Mosley. "So loving. You know? Full of light."
As the entire community continues to mourn, family members of the victims are grateful for the support they’ve received.
“It means a lot to us to see everybody come out for each other and every family,” said Mosley’s aunt Shamyra Mosley. “It just means a lot.”
