Thursday's Anniversary Marks a Sad Day in Doylestown

Thursday marks one year since a high-speed car accident took the life of Holly Berry Huynh, a Groveland Elementary School fourth grader.

The accident happened Nov. 21, 2012—the night before Thanksgiving—on Route 611. Huynh, a budding artist who loved ones say had an inquisitive mind, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Drew Bodden, the driver of the car that hit Holly's grandmother's vehicle, has been found guilty of third-degree murder in connection with the crash. Prosecutors say he was driving more than 140 miles an hour when he slammed into the back of Suzanne Berry's Honda CRV.

Berry was driving her granddaughter home from a gymnastics class.

Residents of the community who would like to share a memory of Holly or donate to the foundation created in her honor should visit the Holly Berry Huynh Foundation website.

The foundation provides scholarships for art programs at the James Michener Art Museum. 

“Holly enjoyed learning and had an inquisitive mind. She truly enjoyed science. Holly also enjoyed art and was an accomplished artist. She enjoyed taking classes at the James A.Michener Art Museum,” according to the foundation website.
