Several speakers talked about the involvement of alcohol in the accident. "We shouldn't be careless behind the wheel even if we're over 21," Anna Wilson, of Hamilton told the crowd according to News 12 New Jersey. "We shouldn't be drinking and driving. It's upsetting to see this and we need to learn."

Delcid-Cardona, who is being held on $1million bail on charges of driving while intoxicated and death by auto had alcohol in his system at the time of the accident but State Police will not reveal the level.
