Family and friends are mourning the loss of a local soldier from Eden.

Army First Lieutenant John Levulis died in a crash on the New Jersey Turnpike when a vehicle hit the military Humvee that he was riding in. Three other soldiers were also injured, but are expected to be OK.

The driver of the other vehicle was ticketed for reckless driving and could possibly face additional charges.

John Levulis studied Criminal Justice at Niagara University.
