New Jersey family killed returning from music festival after their Tesla ‘goes off road and slams into sign’ while oldest son was away at college
By Brittany Chain
A couple and their teenage daughter have been killed in a horror Tesla crash while driving home from a music festival, leaving their son without a family.
David Dryerman, 54, was driving his Tesla Model S along the Garden State Parkway with his wife, Michele and 17-year-old daughter Brooke on Saturday night when he veered off the road and into a guardrail and concrete block.
The trio, who live in a $1 million home in Woodcliff Lake, were all killed at the scene.
The tightknit family were on their way home from the See. Hear. Now. Festival in New Jersey at the time of the tragedy.

Teenager Brooke Dryerman was killed in the tragedy
State Police Sgt. Charles Marchan said the Tesla first struck a sign, then a guardrail before ultimately colliding with the nearby concrete bridge support, but the reason for the crash remains under investigation.
The couple also have an older son, 19-year-old Max, who was not in the car at the time.
Max has since created a GoFundMe appeal to support his return to college. That appeal had raised more than $117,000 as of Wednesday morning.
Woodcliff Lake Mayor Carlos Rendo ordered flags to be lowered in the wake of the tragedy.

‘I just received word of this terrible tragedy,’ he said.
‘I am in shock. Please keep the family in your prayers.’
The family were valued members of the Jewish community, and the Valley Chabad Jewish Center held a memorial for them on Sunday evening.
‘We are all shocked and in such pain today,’ Rabbi Yosef Orenstein told the crowd of about 150 mourners, the Pascack Press reported.
‘A terrible accident took beloved parents, David and Michele, and their daughter Brooke, a dear friend to many of our teens.’
