ORLAND — Prairie Heights High School students were in shock Friday morning as they gathered to mourn and pay respects to a fallen classmate, Tyler Michael Curtis, 16, who lost his life Thursday night in a wreck in rural Steuben County. Then later Friday morning, police announced Tyler’s brother, Chace, 14, a Prairie Heights Middle School student, died at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, from the injuries he sustained in the crash that occurred shortly before 5:30 p.m. Thursday. The brothers were Orland residents. Tyler was declared dead at the scene after he reportedly was driving a 2012 Lexus IS2 at a high rate of speed and lost control after driving over a small hill, traveling off the east side of the road and striking a tree nearly head on and splitting the car in two, said a news release from the Steuben Sheriff’s Department.
