Hearts torn after crash that killed two Maine teens
WELLS – Friends of Austin Dykes and Christian Lumenello gathered Monday to remember the Wells High School sophomores at a shrine assembled just off Tatnic Road, where the two were killed in a car crash Saturday morning.
“Austin was epic,” said Shauna Lapierre, one of about 10 friends clustered by the side of the road. “He was always up for anything and always with a smile.”
Speaking of Lumenello, they said he was a good kid all the way around, and never had anything bad to say about anybody.
In a kind of tribute, young drivers squealed their tires in front of the crosses, candles and mementos marking the crash site, leaving long skid marks along the road.
