Dad of Crash Victim: We’re Not Sure Who Was Driving

NBC- Instead of celebrating his son Dillon's 17th birthday, Bob Clifford is mourning the death of his son and asking people not to point blame in the crash that killed three teens. It's too early to know who was behind the wheel or what caused that tragedy, he said.

Dillon and three other teens were killed on Tuesday evening when a car filled with Griswold High School students crashed into a tree on Route 201. One other teen is in critical condition.

Bob Clifford told NBC Connecticut that there is question about who was behind the wheel of the car when it crashed. The police investigation will take six to eight weeks and he does not think anyone should be pointing blame.

John Clapper III and Sativa Cornell, both 16, and Steven Szklarz,15, were also killed in the crash. Joel Gallup, the only survivor, remains at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
