Harding choir remembers Alyssa Wynn in song at tonight's vigil

WARREN

As police continued this week to investigate what caused a rollover crash that killed Alyssa B. Wynn, 17, last Thursday, her little brother, Jonathan, expressed a simpler thought.

“I remember all the fun we had. I want her back,” he said from a wheelchair in front of hundreds of people at the entrance to Warren G. Harding High School Tuesday night.

“I might not have been the best brother. Please come back,” he said.

Jonathan, 10, survived the wreck, along with his mother, Jodi Weaver, 40, who was driving. Both were injured and both were wearing leg braces Tuesday night during a candlelight vigil that included singing by the Harding choir, of which Alyssa was a four-year member.

Alyssa was planning to continue her education in the fall at Pittsburgh Technical Institute.

After the choir finished singing, Weaver thanked them, saying “I love you all for being here.”

A Warren police report released Tuesday says Weaver told them she lost control of the 2002 Dodge pickup truck as she tried to avoid a white vehicle that cut in front of her on West Market Street as she was heading west at 5:30 p.m.

She told The Vindicator’s broadcast partner, 21 WFMj-TV, that she veered into a pothole after that, causing a wheel to come off, before the truck left the road.
