While many fam­i­lies are prepar­ing for Christ­mas, a La Ro­maine fam­i­ly is now in mourn­ing af­ter a fiery high­way crash claimed the life of a 50-year-old man on Sun­day.

De­tails sur­round­ing how Den­nis Ne­ho­rah, a fa­ther of two, ran off the road are still un­der in­ves­ti­ga­tion, po­lice said.

Ini­tial re­ports in­di­cat­ed that around 1.30 pm, Ne­ho­rah was re­turn­ing from a gym in Gas­par­il­lo and had just merged on­to the south­bound lane of the Solomon Ho­choy High­way when he ap­par­ent­ly lost con­trol of his Mit­subishi Lancer.
