Family and friends remember 63-year-old Massachusetts man killed after crash into home

Family and friends are remembering a 63-year-old Massachusetts man who died suddenly after a crash into a home.

According to North Reading Police, on Monday at approximately 7:00 p.m., North Reading Police and Fire responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash at 334 Park Street.

Upon arrival, first responders found that a 2007 Ford Mustang had crashed into a single-family residence.

The owner of the Mustang, 63-year-old David Lopilato of North Reading and East Boston, was the sole occupant of the car at the time of the crash. He was transported to an area hospital by the North Reading Fire Department where he was pronounced deceased upon arrival.

There were no other injuries as a result of this crash. The home sustained minor damage but was deemed safe.

Those who knew Lopilato described him as a man who loved his family and coaching his children in sports. One friend stated that he “always made people smile and (he) filled any room (he) walked into, with LOVE!” One sentiment throughout was that Lopilato will be dearly missed.

The crash remains under investigation by the North Reading Police Department in conjunction with the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office and the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.
