The top of the Kia was sheared off, he said, adding that the sedan went another 30 to 40 feet before it stopped. 

High speed – confirmed by area surveillance video – appeared to be the only factor, responders said.

An Edgewater native and Bergenfield resident, Rodriguez graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

More than $17,000 had been raised as of Friday on a GoFundMe for Cevallos' family, while approximately $2,400 was raised on a separate account in honor of Rodriguez.
