Father And Son From 100 MPH Crash Burried Together

Stephen Weekes, the driver of a fatal 100 mph crash in Warren Township, and his 9-year-old son, Anthony Weekes, were laid to rest together at the Canarsie Cemetery in Brooklyn on Tuesday. A service was held for both father and son at Saint Gabriels Episcopal Church, also in Brooklyn, the day before.

It’s unclear what the custody arrangements were for Weekes and his son, but police reports stated Stephen Weekes lived in Bethlehem, Pa., while his son lived in Jamaica, queens, according to nj.com.

The July 11 Crash

The driver of the Honda Accord involved in Saturday night’s fatal accident on interstate 78 in Warren was driving “well over 100 mph” before the car crashed into trees on the side of the road – killing the 39-year-old driver as well as his 9-year-old son.

The driver Stephen Weekes of Bethlehem, P.A. and his son, Anthony Weekes, of Jamaica, N.Y., were both declared dead at the scene.

“It is still unknown why Stephen Weeks was traveling at such a high rate of speed, especially with a child in the car,” according to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. “There was evidence in the car indicating possible intoxication, but the medical examiner’s lab tests will not be complete for several weeks.”

Weekes reportedly blew past a marked patrol car doing over 100 mph around 8:45 p.m. Saturday night. The patrol car followed the Honda with its emergency lights on for over three miles before Weekes struck the side of a Hyundai Elantra and then careened into the trees on the right side of the highway.

The passengers of the Hyundai, George Frisoli, 22, of Basking Ridge, and his passenger, Calvin Spann, 23, of Maywood, exited their vehicle after the collision.

Eliza Deck, 32, of Clinton, lost control of her Porsche Boxster as she approached the Hyundai and went off to the left side of the road, striking Frisoli and Spann (as pedestrians) and their car.

Both cars ended up in the center median. Frisoli was transported by Northstar to Morristown Medical Center. Spann and Deck also went to the same hospital by ambulance.
