And what this makes me reliaze..is that i am lucky to have what i have. and i am lucky for the friends that i have. because, this time it was matt...and it was a person and he was important and he was someones friend..he was one of my friends friends....and what if he was my best friend...then it would be different. cause i couldn't image life without one of my friends...so i know i dont always say it..but i love you guys and my friends are amazing and i could never live without you.... because if you think about how fast a person can come and ago...how they could be sitting behind you in class or laughing with you on the phone and then the next moment be gone forever....its scary....and so i just want to say THANK YOU to all my friends...because one day you may be gone (knock on wood) and it'll be too late to tell you what you ment to me...




Here is the story:


DENNISVILLE — A 16-year-old tenth grader at the county Technical High School died at 3:41 a.m. on June 10 at Cooper University Hospital, Camden after being struck June 9 at 6:09 p.m. while riding his moped on Route 83.


Matthew Tozer was a carpentry student at Cape May County Technical High School, according to a school official.


According to State Police, they were summoned to the scene of a two-vehicle crash at milepost 1.2 on Route 83.


They found a Chevrolet Malibu, driven by Charles A. Nailie, 62, of Court House, was westbound on the highway when a gray and black Tomas moped, operated by the teen, was eastbound.



Nailie "failed to maintain the vehicle's position in the westbound lane or travel, and crossed into the eastbound lane of travel," according to a State Police release.


The front of the Malibu hit the front of the moped, and its operator was thrown off the cycle.

The Chevrolet continued westbound until it stopped adjacent to the eastbound shoulder.


Belleplain Emergency Medical Service and Dennis Volunteer Fire Company responded to the scene.

Nailie was transported to Cape Regional Medical Center for evaluation.


The teen was flown to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Division, and later transported to Cooper University Hospital in critical condition. It is where he died.


Nailie was arrested for driving under the influence and charged with aggravated assault by auto, driving while intoxicated and related vehicle offenses. He was remanded to county jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.


Trooper R. Lynch and the N.J. State Police Fatal Accident Investigation Unit conducted the investigation.
