Type:  Accident on Friday afternoon killed Jefferson County teen Breck Young and critically injured Young’s friend Vincent Romeo. 

Friday afternoon right after Breck Young had picked up his cap and gown for his high school graduation he and his longtime friend Vincent Romeo were involved in a tragic accident in eastern Jefferson County, Kentucky.  They were driving down Gilliland Road when for an unknown reason Young lost control of the sports utility vehicle he was driving.  The vehicle crashed into a tree causing it to spin out of control and crash into a house.  The vehicle was a mangled mess.  Young died at the scene while Romeo was transported to the hospital in critical condition.  The occupants of the house were not injured. 

Young was a good student and was well liked by his peers.  He was an Eagle Scout and was often helping others.  His classmates are grieving the loss but are recalling the good times to help them through the sadness.  They all know that graduation will not be the happy occasion it was meant to be. Our thoughts go to the Young family and wish Vincent Romeo a speedy and complete recovery.
