Officials say 2019 DeSales graduate Nick White was driving the car when it left Lanark Road in Upper Saucon Township, hit a pole and burst into flames, killing White, his girlfriend Emily Kattner and DeSales senior Sean Hanczaryk. The Rev. Jim Greenfield is DeSales president and says it s impossible to understand what happened. The untimely and brutal way that these children died in that fiery car crash defies all analysis at this point. We all need to be together to work through that pain, Greenfield says. DeSales senior Brandon DiChiacchio is the only survivor of the crash and remains hospitalized. DiChiacchio, White and Hanczaryk were all teammates at one time on the DeSales baseball team.
