The Elkton and Eastern Mennonite University communities are mourning the death of an 18-year-old student who was killed in a car crash early Saturday morning in Harrisonburg.
Harrisonburg Police said that officers responded to a report of a single-vehicle accident involving a power pole just before 3:30 along Vine Street. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, and two 18-year-old passengers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Eastern Mennonite officials later confirmed that former East Rockingham High School standout Sara Monger was the victim in the crash. She had just joined the E-M-U softball team earlier this year.
Police have not released the cause of the crash, but did indicate that speed was a factor.
