TWO students from the same year at a school have died on the same day in separate incidents.
The Year Nine teens both died last Monday, their headteacher said.
One of them, aged 14, was a pedestrian killed in a crash with a car towing a trailer.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs.
No details were given about the circumstances of the second teen’s death.
Horndean Technology College, Hants, where they were pupils, said both incidents happened off the school site.
Headteacher Julie Summerfield told parents: “Both students were valued members of HTC, and we will all miss them greatly.
“Our thoughts are with their families and friends, and they are receiving appropriate support.
“We have shared the news with our students.
“We understand that families will want to support their children through this extremely difficult time and below we have provided some links to useful resources to help in conversations.”
Hampshire Constabulary arrested a 24-year-old male from Waterlooville in relation to the crash and released him pending inquires.
They said in a statement: “We were called at 9.10pm on 7 July to a report of a sudden death of a 14-year-old girl at an address Waterlooville.”
“This is not being treated as suspicious and a file is being prepared for the coroner.”
