Superintendent Dr. Laurie Hunter made the following statement on Tuesday in response to their tragic deaths: “We are incredibly grateful for the affection that has been shown at this painful time.
We also value the desire to feel empowered and not powerless.
“At this time, it is most appropriate that no action be taken to honor the students without the full consent of the families and appropriate support for so many young people facing unfathomable loss.”
McIntosh was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, according to the police investigation. However, it’s uncertain if O’Donnell, Wasserman, and the other student were.
It is believed that the teenager who was operating the second car was unharmed.
