A pickup truck came speeding through the parking lot at Crestwood High School last Saturday evening, blew through both sets of front entry doors, and didn't stop until a metal pole finally brought it to a halt inside the building. No one was hurt. But the driver, now identified as a 22-year-old former student of the school, is facing charges after police say he later admitted he wanted to “show” the district for wronging him years earlier.
Truck Fled the Scene Before Turning Up Stolen
Wright Township Police said they were called to Crestwood High School around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2026, after the truck struck the front doors and fled, according to 2822 News. A witness told police she saw the vehicle speed through the parking lot before it collided with the entrance, as reported by the Standard-Speaker. A court document cited by that outlet described the truck bursting through both entry doors before a metal pole at a second set of doors finally stopped it.
Reports differ on the vehicle itself. Fox56 described it as a black pickup truck that fled the scene, while the Standard-Speaker's reporting said investigators believed it was a dark-gray Chevrolet Silverado. That same account said White Haven police later found a truck matching that description crashed in Dennison Township on Tunnel Road.
Driver Identified, Vehicle Reported Stolen by His Own Father
The driver was identified as 22-year-old Berwick resident Dylan Matusiefsky, described in the Standard-Speaker's report as a former Crestwood student. White Haven Borough Police responded to a crash on November 7 and discovered the truck had been reported stolen out of Berwick, per the same account from 2822 News. Police said the vehicle had been reported stolen by Matusiefsky's own father, who had also reported his son missing.
Matusiefsky told police he had crashed into Crestwood High School earlier that evening, according to 2822 News. Court records reportedly indicate he told investigators he was seeking to “show them” for “screwing him over” when he was a student, the Standard-Speaker reported. He was taken into custody after the vehicle was located in White Haven, Fox56 reported, and a report from Yahoo News said police filed several charges against Matusiefsky on Monday.
No Injuries, But District Scrambled to Secure the Building
Cleaning crews were inside the building at the time of the crash, but no one was injured, 2822 News reported. Despite the damage to the entrance, the district held classes as scheduled on Monday, according to a report from Yahoo News. Crestwood staff said additional safety protocols were put in place that day, and parents were given instructions on how to pick up their children after school, per the 2822 News report.
Crestwood Superintendent Anthony Dicton said the district had secured the damaged doorway and was in the process of scheduling repairs, according to the Standard-Speaker's reporting. The extent of the damage to the school has not been disclosed, and the incident remains under investigation.
