2 high school students were killed in a car crash on their way to prom
What was supposed to be a jubilant rite of passage was replaced by grief and tragedy in Indiana on Saturday.
Two high school students died in a car crash on their way to the prom, Hamilton County sheriff’s spokesperson Ryan McClain said.
The crash happened around 5:15 p.m. in Arcadia, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis. When officers arrived, both students were found deceased.
The Hamilton Heights School Corporation identified them as Hamilton Heights High School senior Kalen Hart and her prom date, Lendon Byram.
Byram was a student at Cathedral High School, the Indianapolis private school said.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly spelled Lendon Byram s name.
Two high school students were on their way to the Hamilton Heights prom Saturday evening when they were killed in a vehicle wreck.
The Hamilton County Sheriff s Office identified the students as Lendon Byram and Kalen Hart. Byram was driving and Hart was the front-seat passenger. Two other students in the car were injured.
Hart s Instagram page says she was a member of the Class of 2021 at Hamilton Heights. Byram was a member of the Class of 2022 at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis.
Two other high school-aged passengers in the backseat of the car were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff s Office.
