Ocean County Prosecutor's Office waiting for a number of test results to come back
There won't be any speedy determination about the cause of the horrific crash that took the lives of three young people last week, the spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said. It was a week ago today that a car driven by Matthew R. Budesa, 20, struck the east wall of the Pine Beach Elementary School with such force that it ripped a six-by-six hole in the school's media center and crushed the engine section of the car. Budesa, the son of Pine Beach Councilman Robert Budesa, Kimberly Van Gorden, 20, of Beachwood, and Matthew Witzgall, 21, of Toms River, all died at the scene of multiple traumatic injuries, authorities have said. Investigators are waiting for the results of the accident reconstruction, any possible mechanical …

Hundreds of mourners, young and old, waited in line to pay their respects to Matthew Budesa and his family
Chances are, it didn't matter to the hundreds of people who came to Matthew Ryan Budesa's wake Monday just how and why the car he was driving slammed into the Pine Beach Elementary School, killing him and two other friends late last week. What mattered was supporting Pine Beach Councilman Robert Budesa, his wife Linda and Matthew's three older brothers, Robert Jr., William and Michael. What mattered was saying goodbye to the bearded young man in his casket, now forever 20 years old. And if you entered the Anderson and Campbell Funeral Home on Main Street in Toms River by the front door Monday afternoon, you would have made a mistake. "Watch your step," said a woman who greeted people at the door. "The end of the line is down the hall." …

Friends, family gather at Winding River Park to honor those who died in horrific crash at Pine Beach Elemntary School
The young people stood stoically in the frigid air, shivering as they clutched lit votive candles in their hands. Some of the flames in the glass holders flickered and went out in the chill wind at Winding River Park. They stood quietly, awkward and unsure in the face of death and loss. They came to mourn their three friends - Matthew Budesa, Kimberly Gorden and Matthew Witzgall - who died together in a violent and puzzling car crash in the early morning hours of Feb. 3. "I'm speechless," a youth in a wheelchair whispered. Wendy Duffy, Beachwood, came with her daughter Krystena and son Michael Runke to honor the three who perished when a car driven by Budesa slammed into a brick wall at the Pine Beach Elementary School. "It's hard," she …

Investigators from the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office are still reconstructing just what happened during the early morning hours of Feb. 3, when a car driven by a councilman's son slammed into a brick wall at the Pine Beach Elementary School.
