On Saturday, September 9, 2023, a 13-year-old boy named Anthony Stinson was struck by a Suffolk County Patrol cruiser in Shirley. Claudia, the teenager’s mother, later informed News12 that her son died on Monday from his injuries.
When news of Anthony Stinson’s death spread, Stephanie Byrnes, who met Anthony while camping with him years ago, created a GoFundMe account for the 13-year-old. The fundraising goal is to reach $2,000, and as of this writing, it has received $1,271 from 32 contributors.
Stinson was seriously injured after being hit by a police patrol car while riding his bicycle on Saturday night. According to News12, the collision happened near the intersection of William Floyd Parkway and Adobe Drive.
GoFundme raised more than $1,200 in wake of police vehicle tragedy
To help the family during this difficult time, a GoFundMe fundraising page has been created to assist the Stinson family in covering Anthony’s funeral costs and other related expenses.
Dana Glaber, a former co-worker of Anthony’s mother, Claudia, created the fundraising website.
“Anthony is Claudia’s only child, and he desperately needs all our help and prayers right now,” Glaber wrote on the GoFundMe page. “All donations will go directly to his mother, Claudia Stinson, to cover the expenses she may incur as a result of this tragedy.”
As of 9 p.m. Tuesday, the GoFundMe campaign had raised about $10,000. More than 220 gifts and emotional greetings were received.
The crash is still under investigation.
Suffolk County officials described the crash, stating that the officer driving the patrol car had his lights and sirens on. They appear to be responding to an emergency call.
According to detectives, the police officer ended up hitting three other cars as they swerved to save the child.
