SHELBY — Shelby Superintendent Michael Browning said the death of a Shelby High School student will have a huge impact on the school community.

Fourteen-year-old Graham Scott passed away following an All-Terrain Vehicle crash on Saturday night. According to a press release issued by Crawford County Sheriff Scott Kent.

“Shelby City Schools is saddened by the loss of one of our students, Graham Scott,” Browning wrote in a press release sent Monday afternoon.

“We will have school counselors and external consulting organizations available to our students and staff during this difficult time.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Graham’s family,” the investigator wrote.

The incident occurred on Saturday

The incident occurred just after 7 p.m. Saturday evening when the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office responded to 5550 State Route 96 in Liberty Township for a report of an ATV crash.

According to Kent’s press release, the accident occurred when a side-by-side vehicle rolled over, ejecting two passengers. Two passengers on the ATV were slightly injured.

Scott was driving the vehicle and was treated at the scene for serious injuries by Liberty Township Fire Department, Life First EMS and Med-Flight paramedics.
