Tragic Glenville Crash Claims Lives of Quiessence Irizarry, Elijah Holmes, John Kemp, and Nyvon Irizarry: Speed and Alcohol Impairment Cited as Primary Factors
A devastating car crash in Glenville on September 1 resulted in the tragic loss of four young lives. Quiessence Irizarry, Elijah Holmes, John Kemp, and Nyvon Irizarry, all residents of Schenectady, succumbed to their injuries after the vehicle they were traveling in crashed on state Route 5. The incident occurred around 3:20 a.m. near the intersection with Water’s Road, leaving the community in shock and grief.
According to police reports, the 2022 Honda Accord, driven by 25-year-old Nyvon Irizarry, veered off the road, striking several trees before coming to rest in a ditch. The severity of the crash made it challenging for authorities to initially identify the driver. However, subsequent investigations revealed that Irizarry was behind the wheel.
The victims were part of a group of at least three other vehicles leaving a party in Amsterdam at the time of the accident. Witnesses reported that the vehicles were traveling together, but it is unclear whether any other cars were involved in the crash.
Preliminary investigations indicate that speed and alcohol impairment were the primary factors contributing to the fatal crash. Wet roads and foggy conditions also played a role in the incident. The police statement confirmed that “the investigation has determined that speed and alcohol impairment are the main contributors to the crash.”
The community is still reeling from the loss of these young lives. Friends and family members have taken to social media to share their condolences and memories of the victims. Quiessence Irizarry, Elijah Holmes, John Kemp, and Nyvon Irizarry were all 24 years old, with their entire lives ahead of them.
As the investigation continues, authorities have confirmed that no charges are expected to be filed in connection with the incident. However, the police are still working to piece together the events leading up to the crash.
The crash site has become a makeshift memorial, with flowers, candles, and messages of condolence left by those affected by the tragedy. The community is coming together to support the families of the victims during this difficult time.
