Police say 17-year-old Henry Revere was heading westbound on James River Drive when he lost control, ran off the road, overcorrected, and crossed the center line when his car was hit by a tractor-trailer that was traveling eastbound. This happened around 6:30 p.m. in the 19000 block of James River Drive, located in the county's Burroughsville area.

The school does have grief counselors/student support available at the school for as long as necessary. Do contact the school if you have any concerns about your student or encourage your student to seek out this support if needed.

Henry played on the school’s soccer team and volunteered to build ramps for those living with disabilities. Teachers describe him as a positive presence in the lives of others, and are heartbroken over the loss.

"He always found a way to help people…rather it was to make them laugh or build a ramp for someone with a disability…he found a way," shared Kerry Marple, his former social studies teacher. “He had a great sense of humor that could connect with kids, adults."

"He made everything fun, he made the day fun. He was the kind of person you looked forward to seeing because he made the day great," expressed Anne Pennypacker, Henry’s eight grade English teacher. "Every morning he would come in, he’d be the first to say good morning and would be the last to leave to say thank you for a good class."
