Grief Counselors Help Students Cope With Classmate's Death
ROLLING HILLS ESTATES (CBS) — Grief counselors were at Peninsula High School in Rolling Hills Estates Thursday to help students mourn a 16-year-old girl killed when the car taking her to school slammed into a pole.
The girl was a passenger in a car that crashed on Hawthorne Boulevard at Palos Verdes Drive North around 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, said Sgt. Mark Moffett of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Lomita Station.
Ann Sterling, reporting for KCAL9 and CBS2, identified the driver Wednesday as the girl's boyfriend. He is also a Peninsula High student.
The victim, who was riding in a Honda Civic, was Annamay Rebecca Celine Naef of Rolling Hills Estates, the Breeze reported.
Grief counselors went to the school Wednesday and were scheduled to be there for the remainder of the week, Cress wrote on the school website.
She told the Breeze that Naef was sweet, kind, gentle and a motivated student.
