R.I.P. John Schwartz. Lost but not forgotten - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I know that probably most of you dont know him, but I'm putting this here anyways. Over the weekend, we lost another beloved friend. Any of you on here who graduated from Downingtown West High School in the class of 07 or anywhere around there probably know the name James Schwartz. Well, his younger brother John Schwartz, who was 16 years old, was tragically taken from us this weekend in a fatal car accident. No details have been released, except that he was in a car with 2 other people. He was a passenger and there was one other passenger and the driver. It happened around 1AM. The driver apparently got into the other lane to turn, and hit an Accord head on. Only the driver lived. May God be with you John, and with his family and loved ones. I know one thing, I can't imagine what they're going through. I've known his brother since elementary school and I was even in a class with John. He was a really really cool kid, and he will be missed. R.I.P. John Schwartz. Gone but never forgotten.

Man this sucks. I'm glad my parents made me wait until I was 18 to drive. IMO 16 is just too young. I don't know the driver's age but I can't imagine the burdon he's got to go through life with. I'm sure it was just an accident... I hope people don't give him a hard time.

I pray for the families of all those involved. What about the accord driver?

thats ashame, they werent wearing seat belts.

Soda Popinski · 10-21-2008, 01:59 PM

What happened exactly? From what I read, it seems he had to swerve into the other lane and got hit by an oncoming car. Is that accurate?

BTW some of those responses on those news posts are absolutely revolting.

The DHS West community learned today, October 21st, of the tragic loss of one of our students. Senior John Schwartz was killed in a car accident in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County late Monday afternoon. John was traveling with two friends from the Coatesville area when the accident occurred. His friends, who were not DASD students, were flown by helicopter to Lancaster General Hospital where they are being treated for their injuries.

John was an honor student, taking advanced math and calculus classes. He had hoped to attend college in the fall. He was very active in the local Boy Scouts. John also attended West Bradford Elementary and Downingtown Middle Schools.

When services for John are announced, they will be posted on this page. We send our deepest condolences to John’s family. He will be missed by his friends at DHS West.
