Trinity High School junior killed in Bedford crash
A Trinity High School junior was killed early Easter morning in a crash on Back River Road in Bedford, police said.
The name of the female student was not released. Trinity and St. Joseph Junior High School will be closed for academic classes Monday, but the schools will hold Mass for students at 1 p.m. in the gymnasium and have counseling services available at the school for students from 9 a.m. to noon, Trinity officials said in an email.
Trinity also postponed all sports practices and games, as well as other school activities, until the week of May 5 after April vacation.
'I am deeply saddened to share the news of the tragic passing of one of our juniors, who was involved in a fatal, single-person motor vehicle accident Saturday evening,' said Nathan Stanton, the president of the two adjoined schools. 'The entire Trinity High School and St. Joseph Junior High School community offers our prayers for her and her family as they deal with this unimaginable loss.'
The student was the only person in a vehicle that crashed into a pole and rolled over around 12:30 a.m. near the intersection of Back River and County roads, police said. She was pronounced dead later.
Bedford Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
Stanton sent an email Sunday notifying parents and students about the accident and several people commented about the loss on the school's Facebook page.
"Many prayers to those affected by this loss. Our hearts go out to the community during this difficult time," Amber Wheeler wrote on the Facebook page.
