US Naval Academy Midshipman Dies in Pa.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A U.S. Naval Academy midshipman from Pennsylvania has died after a car accident.

The (Allentown) Morning Call reports 21-year-old Austin Tyler Zalik, a junior majoring in ocean engineering, died Friday in Pennsylvania's Berks County.

Authorities told the paper that Zalik had been sleeping in his pickup truck in the parking lot of a gas station before the accident at 7 a.m. Authorities said the pickup may have drifted forward as Zalik slept. The truck dropped off an embankment and into the path of a tractor-trailer.

This is so sad. My heart breaks for the family. Having had a 21 year old son in the Marines that had a fatal accident I know how the family feels. Sometimes we just don't know why and never will know. God bless him and his family
