Anthony Pizzo and Lindsey Clarke Die in New Jersey Vehicle Wreck

“One of Lindsey’s greatest blessings was the love she shared with her fiancé, Anthony Pizzo,” read an obituary detailing a bond cut short just after midnight on Nov. 7.

Anthony Pizzo and Lindsey Clarke of Wyoming, who planned to marry next year, died together in a vehicle wreck in New Jersey.

The crash occurred on Route 9 in Old Bridge, Middlesex County, as the couple rode in the back seat of a sport utility vehicle, according to multiple New Jersey news outlets. Their vehicle was struck on the driver’s side by another vehicle while leaving a banquet facility that had just hosted a wedding reception for Pizzo’s cousin.

The driver and a front-seat passenger of the SUV, along with the driver of the other vehicle, were hospitalized with injuries following the collision. Pizzo and Clarke were pronounced dead at the scene.

The couple had looked forward to building a home, starting a family, and deepening their faith together after Pizzo proposed in December of 2025. They were originally scheduled to be married on Oct. 23, 2027.

“The venue had changed since both Lindsey and Anthony were called by our savior at the same time,” Clarke’s obituary noted.

Pizzo’s obituary reflected similar sentiments regarding his lifelong aspirations and his final moments. “Anthony always yearned to find the person who would make him a husband and father someday, and although it’s devastating that they aren’t here anymore, there is a small semblance of peace in knowing he passed away with the love he searched so long for by his side,” his obituary stated.

A Mass of Christian Burial for both Pizzo and Clarke is scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m. at St. Therese’s Church in Shavertown. Following the services, they will be laid to rest together at Mount Olivet Cemetery.

The collision remains under active investigation by local authorities.
