Daniel Diaz, Aben Sisk Death, Obituary News – Three teenagers from Dorman High School in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, tragically lost their lives in a multi-vehicle crash that occurred on Tuesday afternoon, casting a deep shadow over the community.

Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger confirmed he was called to the scene of a serious collision shortly after 4 p.m., near the intersection of Fairforest Clevedale Road and Old Blackstock Road. The accident involved multiple vehicles and left three young lives cut short.

According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the crash happened when a 2004 Dodge pickup truck and a 2010 Chevrolet coupe were traveling westbound on Old Blackstock Road. As they proceeded down the road, both vehicles collided with a semi-truck that was attempting to turn onto the same stretch of highway. The impact of the crash proved fatal for the occupants of the Dodge pickup.

All three teenagers in the Dodge truck died as a result of the crash. Coroner Clevenger confirmed that 15-year-old Daniel Diaz and 16-year-old Aben Sisk were pronounced dead at the scene. The third passenger, 17-year-old Itzel Garcia-Trejo, was critically injured in the crash and transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. Despite efforts to save her, she later succumbed to her injuries.

The driver of the Chevrolet coupe involved in the crash survived but sustained injuries. That individual was transported to the hospital for treatment, though their current condition has not been publicly released.

All three teens attended Dorman High School, a fact that has left the school and the larger Spartanburg District 6 community reeling with grief. The district responded swiftly to the tragic news, issuing a statement on Wednesday morning to acknowledge the tremendous loss.

“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of three of our Dorman High School students, Aben Sisk, Daniel Diaz, and Itzel Garcia-Trejo, who were involved in a fatal car accident,” the statement read. “Three lives, full of promise and potential, are gone far too soon.”

The district’s message went on to describe the immense pain felt across the school community, noting that the deaths had deeply affected students, teachers, and staff alike. The statement conveyed how the loss had resonated throughout the hallways and classrooms of Dorman High School and emphasized the emotional burden the tragedy has placed on everyone connected to the school.

The grief is compounded by the fact that the school was already mourning the death of another student who passed away less than two weeks ago. In light of this, Spartanburg District 6 acknowledged how difficult it is to process so many young lives lost in such a short span of time. The school district emphasized the importance of coming together to support one another through this period of sorrow.

Counselors and support teams have been made available at the school to assist students, faculty, and staff as they navigate the emotional aftermath. These resources are being provided to help those affected begin to process their grief and find a path toward healing.

In their statement, district officials expressed their commitment to standing beside the families of the victims, offering continued support in the days and weeks to come. “Much like families do in times of grief, we will lean on one another for strength, comfort, and healing,” the statement said.

The district concluded its message with a heartfelt plea to the broader community, asking that thoughts and prayers be extended to the families of Aben, Daniel, and Itzel. The support of the “District Six Family,” as the statement called it, will be crucial as these families attempt to cope with an unimaginable loss.

As the investigation into the crash continues, no further details have been released about the cause or circumstances that led to the collision. The involvement of a turning semi-truck will likely be a focus of the ongoing examination by the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

In the meantime, the loss of these three students serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life and the heartbreak that can come without warning. The tragedy has left a lasting impact not just on Dorman High School, but on the entire Spartanburg community, as friends, classmates, and loved ones mourn the loss of three young individuals whose futures held so much promise.
