Youth Killed in School Van Joyride

Capture

A Laytonville area youth died today and several others may have been injured when an early morning crash ended tragically.

Tim Henry, the principal of Laytonville High School, confirmed around 5 a.m. this morning, one of his students was in a school van which crashed on Branscomb Road.

A reader who described the incident as joyriding tells us that there were multiple boys involved in the incident though Henry would not confirm this.

Henry says the community will be dealing with a lot of pain. “It’s going to be hard for the students….and teachers and the families. A lot of people are affected by this. We’ve got to grieve.”

A request to the CHP for more information has not yet been returned.

You know, it’s just struck me that this is one of the very few things that has not changed in my lifetime. Teens still kill themselves mid-immortality. And it still hurts just the same too.

The headline says “joyride” but the article addresses nothing of the sort.

I can’t find details of this story anywhere. Or even the existance of it except for here on Kym’s site. Doesn’t seem typical to me. Any idea why this might be?

I am so sorry for your loss. Life doesn’t seem fair at times. Never never easy losing someone especially a child.
In the future you will see him again. Just a short time away. My condolences to the whole family.

How did these kids get in the van? Were the keys left in it? Are the school fleet
easily accessible?

Well I would assume and theorize that a lack of departmental oversight would be responsible for obtaining keys for vehicle. And then to get vehicle out of a locked compound is another thing but maybe keys for both were obtained at the same time. Hope we’ll have some answers soon to prevent this type of thing in the future.
