It’s now being reported that the driver of the black BMW that flipped over on Routes 1 and 202 in Chadds Ford early Easter morning was Joseph A. Del Sordo, 19, of Media. Those reports came from two news outlets. Chadds Ford Live has asked for confirmation from state police, but there’s been no response yet.

According to earlier police reports, the BMW was speeding up Route 202 and flipped over at the intersection after hitting a pole. Two firearms and two spent shell casings were found inside the car. The female passenger, a 1`7-year-old from Brookhaven, was pronounced dead at the scene, found shot in the head. The driver also had a bullet wound to the head and was taken to Paoli Hospital, where he died days later.

Chadds Ford Live will update this story as more information is released.
