WARWICK – One University of Rhode Island student is dead and another critically wounded after a car crash early this morning on Route 95 south. Killed in the crash was passenger Tiffany DeSisto, 20, of 71 Broad St. in Warwick, according to state police Lt. David Neill. The driver, who was in critical condition this morning, was Marissa Salabert, 19, of 120 Ben Bridge Ave. in Warwick. Salabert was driving south when she lost control just south of Route 295, before Exit 10, according to the state police. The car veered left off the road and into the grass median area before shooting back out onto the highway, where it stalled in the center lane, facing west, Neill said. A tractor-trailer then struck the stationary vehicle broadside, on the passenger side, around 1:46 a.m., Neill said. DeSisto was pronounced dead at the scene by the medical examiner, and the driver remains in critical condition, Neill said. A URI spokesman could not say any more about the students this morning. See Channel 12 video from the scene. -- projo.com staff writer Kate Bramson Posted by Kate Bramson Commentskathy | March 30, 2007 11:50 AM link Please know that these kids lives touched everyone especially in Warwick. I work within the Warwick School Department and have known many of these children that have lost their lives so early...too early. My thoughts and prayers are with these familys and with the families that have lost loved ones through cancer recently of Warwick as well, Bethany Rose and Andy both from Toll Gate. We as a city have lost too many children this past year and a half. It saddens me to see them be taken so young. I pray they are in Gods loving care and my hearts go out to you all!

I am just in shock. My son was killed, Anthony Gemma on December 15th, from Warwick, then Timothy Packhem, then Corrina Cole, then the two boys from West Warwick, now these two more girls from Warwick. I know all the news channels have been talking alot about Tim and Corrina, however, this community has lost 7 kids, just teenagers, except for Tiffany she is 20, but she is still a baby.
I am just in shock and want everyone to realize how precious life is.....my god.....I pray for each and every one of our children...
God Bless,
