Falmouth car crash kills high school senior just weeks before graduation
A high school senior was killed in a car crash late Saturday night in Falmouth, Massachusetts, authorities said.
The 18-year-old driver was a student at Falmouth High School. Police have not yet named the victim.
The single-car crash happened on Acapesket Road.
Video from the scene showed a white Range Rover SUV with heavy front-end damage. It appeared to have struck a tree not far from the side of the road.
Graduation is scheduled for June 7 and the school's prom took place Saturday night.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time," Falmouth public schools Supt. Lori Duerr said in a statement along with police and fire officials.
Counselors were at the high school Sunday afternoon, and more support will be offered at school on Monday for students and staff.
