There was a moment of silence this morning at Stanwood High School as students remembered a classmate killed in a car crash Monday night.
Blair Buchanan, 17, died when his car left the road, hit several trees and landed in the bottom of a gully. Road construction workers found the wreckage of the car about 8:20 a.m. Tuesday in the 6700 block of 268th Street NW, Stanwood Police Chief David Bales said.
Friends and family members gathered at the school Tuesday night for a candlelight vigil for the football player and wrestler. Relatives of the boy met with school administrators and counselors.
Blair''s parents gave school officials permission to release the boy''s name and tell students and staff about his death, school district spokeswoman Cathy Britt said.
Extra counselors were at the school today to help students cope with the loss. In addition, Blair''s closes friends are receiving special counseling.
Blair, a high school senior, grew up in the Stanwood schools.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner was scheduled to conduct an autopsy today.
Police continue to investigate, Bales said. They found evidence suggesting the car was speeding, he said.
