For the second time this year, the teachers and students at Perry High are mourning the loss of one of their own.
On Monday, 18-year-old Perry High senior Kelli Halterman was killed in a traffic accident at Perry Drive and Brunnerdale Avenue N.W. in Jackson Township.
Halterman, of 4930 Quincy St. N.W., was only a few miles from home when she lost control of her 1999 Mercury Cougar, slid off the left side of the roadway and struck a pickup truck. Halterman was traveling southeast in the 2700 block of Perry Drive when she struck the truck of Joseph Leeson, 39, of 2358 Beechmore Drive N.W.
Halterman was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center at 4:52 p.m., according to Jackson Township Police Chief Harley Neftzer.
"There was a lot of snow at the time, and visibility was difficult," he said. "The roads had become wet and slippery."
Tracy Schlup, spokesperson for the Perry Local School District, said counselors and the administration is organizing a crisis team to assist students and staff.
Halterman's death comes not even two months after students and staff at Perry High mourned the tragic death of teacher Jack Leeder, 40, who was killed in a traffic accident in Kidron in Wayne County on Sept. 27.
