A large procession arranged to pay respects to the two Washington teenagers who were killed in a Saturday night automobile accident on E. Maiden Street took place on Monday evening. Justin Crawford, 17 and his girlfriend Nevaeh Sheets also 17 were honored by more that 100 people in approximately 70 cars that paraded from the park and ride lot on E. Beau Street to the accident scene. Cars lined both sides of the road in the 3000 block of E. Maiden Street as family and friends placed flowers and other memorabilia around the tree that the two teens crashed into at about 11:15 PM on March 11. Emotions ran deep as many family members and friends embraced in tears as they struggled to find words to comfort each other. Blayr Brown, the stepfather of Navaeh Sheets said that he lost his star. Friends Cheyenne Eckels and Jaylin Smith spoke of how well liked both people were. The gathering lasted about twenty minutes before the group disbursed to go home. The coroner is still studying the cause and manner of death. South Strabane Township Police continue to investigate the accident. South Strabane Township’s Fire Department is also set to host a Bingo fundraiser on Saturday, March 18 at 172 Oak Spring Road in Washington. Doors will open at 4 p.m.
