BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA (FOX 35) – A destination wedding turned tragic with the death of the groom’s best man.
According to Melbourne Police, Andrew ‘Drew’ Sofranko, 23, was killed in a hit-and-run crash early Christmas morning while trying to cross South Harbor City Boulevard, near Strawbridge Avenue.
“The physician said that he likely died immediately upon impact,” said Sofranko’s father, Douglas Sofranko. “He didn’t have a pulse when the paramedics got there. So, there’s some very slight solace in the fact that he didn’t feel any pain, but it doesn’t really help the big picture.”
The 23-year-old Pennsylvania native was in Melbourne celebrating his father and stepmother’s wedding. Just hours before his death, he was delivering his best man speech.
The family set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral arrangements.
