5 Fairport grads killed in head-on collision; 'It's a community nightmare' (http://http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070627/NEWS01/70627002)-D&C
Five recent Fairport High graduates, four of them cheerleaders, were killed late Tuesday night when their SUV collided head-on with a tractor-trailer in Ontario County.
Principal Dave Paddock identified the dead as Hannah Congdon, Bailey Goodman, Meredith McClure, Sara Monnat and Katherine Shirley. All but Shirley had been cheerleaders. Paddock said nine girls were going to a cottage near Canandaigua. The five who died were being followed by four girls in a second car that was not involved in the crash.
Police said David M. Laverty of Olean was driving his tractor-trailer west on Route 5 when he saw the eastbound SUV pass another vehicle. The SUV made it back into the eastbound lane, then crossed back over the center line and hit the tractor-trailer head-on. Both vehicles burst into flames.
All five teens were pronounced dead at the scene. Laverty was not injured.-John Moriello's Blog
