CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — Pennsylvania State Police were dispatched to I-81 southbound at 4:02 p.m. after a driver crashed near mile marker 61.3 in Cumberland County.
Jeffrey Suter, 18, was traveling in the center lane when police say he made an unsafe lane change into the right lane. This caused Suter to lose control of his car, which drove off the right side of the road.
The Cumberland County Coroner's Office was called to the scene to assess the fatal injury, and the vehicle was towed from the road.
Bishop McDevitt released the following statement regarding Suter's death:
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of senior class member, Jeffrey Suter. Jeff was a member of the boys soccer team and was committed to play at Drew University in the fall. He lit up our classrooms, hallways and soccer field. We will miss his kind heart and bright smile.
We send our deepest sympathy to the Suter family, his friends, classmates and teammates. Please join us in lifting up his loved ones in prayer during this difficult time.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
Rest in Peace, Jeffrey Sutter, Class of 2023.
