SAN ANTONIO – Two Johnson High School students were killed in a fiery two-vehicle crash on the North Side Saturday afternoon, according to Johnson HS Principal Gary Comalander.
The crash happened at 3:50 p.m. Saturday, in the 23200 block of Bulverde Road and TPC Parkway, near the high school’s entrance.
It’s unclear what led to the crash, but deputies said the impact led to both vehicles bursting into flames, entrapping the two victims. Both of them were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Some students, parents and school staff gathered at the crash site Sunday afternoon and held a vigil for the two students.
A letter was also sent out to the student body and parents from Principal Comalander on Sunday, saying counselors and support from District STAN counselors will be available to all students.
