Schuylkill County teen dies after crash

The 17-year-old from Tower City was killed in the wreck around 7:30 a.m. Thursday in Dauphin County.

SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, Pa. — A teenager from Schuylkill County is dead after a crash in Dauphin County.

The 17-year-old from Tower City was killed in the wreck around 7:30 a.m. Thursday.

State police say the teen was driving a car that was involved in a three-vehicle crash on Route 209 in Williams Township.

The victim was a student in the Williams Valley School District in Schuylkill County.

School officials say this is the second time in a few months that a student has died in a crash.

"Williams Valley has now suffered two tragedies this year. We lost a student in November to a fatal car accident, so to have a school district go through that not only once, but twice, in the same year within a couple months, it's devastating," said John Rizzo, Williams Valley School District Superintendent.

District officials say counselors will be available for several days to talk with students after the deadly crash in Dauphin County.
