Joseph Savarino, a grandson of retired Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, has been charged with misdemeanor driving while impaired in connection with a collision that killed a 15-year-old bicyclist.
Charge stems from fatal collision
The misdemeanor DWI charge was filed in relation to the crash in which the teen died while riding a bicycle. No additional details about the incident were provided.
Background
Krzyzewski, widely known as “Coach K,” retired after the 2021-22 season following a long tenure leading Duke. Savarino’s charge has drawn attention due to that family connection, but the case centers on the fatal crash involving the 15-year-old.
