In North Huntingdon, the reverberations of a grim Easter Sunday collision have now found their way to the doorstep of Kimberly Strashensky, a 53-year-old woman embroiled in a narrative of loss and alleged negligence. On a day cloaked in misfortune, two teenagers, Adam Bilinsky, 19, and Colin Bargiel, 16, succumbed to a dirt bike accident on their return to what was described as Strashensky's "party house," where police allege the allowance of underage drinking was a regular occurrence, as reported by CBS News Pittsburgh.
One teen recounted how Strashensky was not averse to purchasing Twisted Tea for them, other teens echoed this sentiment in their descriptions to law enforcement and in court documents wove a tapestry of events that led to the ill-fated dirt bike journey of March 31, the day which saw Bargiel's attempt at ferrying Bilinksy to Strashensky's and culminated in their deaths.
In accounts shared with TribLive, authorities pieced together a timeline wherein Bargiel, with a blood-alcohol content of .028%, is said to have maneuvered the dirt bike that would ferry him and Bilinsky into the inexorable finality of a crash. It was not just anecdotal evidence that cast Strashensky as a facilitator of these youthful soirees but also videos from Bargiel's cellphone which burdened the silence with Strashensky's own voice, those recordings capturing the banter of inebriation and the homeowner's own directives steering intoxicated minors away from indoor sickness.
According to TribLive, multiple interviews with township teens disclosed they'd been given access to alcohol at Strashensky's home on numerous instances spanning from January through the date of the fatal incident.
