A Saugus High School senior died after being struck by a vehicle in Northern California the day before Thanksgiving.
Around 4:40 a.m. Wednesday Nov. 27, Samuel Grumet, 17, a Saugus High School student was struck and killed by a vehicle on the southbound Interstate 680 near Crow Canyon Road in Northern California, said Officer Tyler Hahn, spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Dublin Area Office.
“The initial arriving CHP unit located a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek and the pedestrian within the #3 lane of southbound I-680,” Hahn said. “Upon arrival, the 17-year-old was pronounced dead on scene.”
Preliminary information reveals that a 63-year-old driver from Richmond was driving her 2024 Subaru Crosstrek at approximately 60-65 miles per hour when a pedestrian came from the right shoulder of I-680 southbound, into her lane of travel, according to CHP reports.
The driver of the Subaru applied the brakes to her vehicle but was unable to stop.
“Samuel Grumet will be greatly missed by his Centurion family,” said Geni Peterson Henry, principal for Saugus High School. “His bright smile and friendly personality lit up our campus. He was a wonderful student and an all-around good person. Grief counseling is being provided for staff and students as we deal with this heartbreaking loss.”
