David Dryerman, Michele Dryerman and Brook Dryerman Obituary Woodcliff Lake: A horrifying late-night Garden State Parkway crash that killed a Woodcliff Lake couple and their teenage daughter has left the town in shock.
Just before midnight on Saturday, September 14, a crash off the parkway’s northbound lanes near Woodbridge claimed the lives of David Dryerman, 54, and Michele Dryerman, 54, as well as 17-year-old Pascack Hills High School senior Brook Dryerman. The crash occurred, according to New Jersey State Police Sgt. Charles Marchan.
According to the sergeant, David Dryerman, the driver of their Tesla S, went off the road to the left, struck a fence and then a sign before crashing into a concrete bridge pillar. According to him, all three victims were declared dead at the spot.
The State Police are still looking into what caused the collision.
Members of Pascack Hills’ Crisis Response Team were dispatched right away to speak with any students, employees, or families who requested their assistance. They will be at the school today and tomorrow. Assistance from the Bergen County Traumatic Loss Coalition will be provided for Monday’s sessions.
As we deal with this loss, support will be provided all week, according to Hills/Valley Coalition spokesperson Jennifer Charnow.
As Charnow put it, “anyone who met the Dryermans knew them as authentically kind, empathetic, giving human beings.” “They were always willing to help out and stand by a friend.
“There is absolutely no way to make any sense of this tragedy,” she said.
“What I do know,” she continued, “is that we must honor them in the best way we can, as individuals and as a community, by coming together to support Max (the couple’s son), each other, and our children.”
According to Charnow, children “may be at greater risk due to exposure to the death of a peer.”
She said that even if counseling sessions were planned, parents can still inquire if they believe their child needs further help.
Valley Chabad, according to Associate Rabbi Yosef Orenstein, organized a memorial service for local teenagers today, inviting them to “light a candle, pray, share memories, and do a mitzvah in memory of Brooke and her beloved parents.”
“Today, we are all so hurt and startled. the passing of their parents’ daughter, who was a close friend to several of our teenagers,” Orenstein remarked. “We are all hurting.”
In the meantime, Borough of Woodcliff Lake Mayor Carlos A. Rendo issued an order to lower all flags to half staff.
