'We were sleeping and I heard my mom scream and I just knew,' said his sister Nicole Weidenfeld.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- The sister of Dylan Weidenfeld, one of three people killed in a crash in Jersey City, is speaking out as safety advocates say they want more done to prevent future crashes. One of the last photos Nicole Weidenfeld has of her younger brother is of him with his girlfriend and niece at their parents' home on Sunday, hours before he was killed. 'We loved him very much. He loved everyone he came in contact with. Everyone loved him,' said Weidenfeld.

Two of those passengers were killed, three others were injured. 'I've driven down that road. I know, I know it's not safe,' said Weidenfeld. Safe streets advocates said the stretch of road was identified in a recent study as having a higher rate of crashes than others in Hudson County. 'You hear about these things happening, and you get angry about it because people shouldn't be dealing with these things. People shouldn't be losing people because of a dangerous road.
