Grief Counselors at BAHS Today

Bradford High School principal Ken Coffman tells WESB and The Hero that grief Counselors are on hand at Bradford High today and will be available to students throughout the week. McKean County Coroner Mike Cahill confirmed Sunday night to WESB and The Hero that 18-year-old Evan Yehl and 18-year-old Britt Bookhamer died in Friday's night's crash near Marilla Reservoir in Bradford Township. Cahill says Yehl and Bookhamer both died instantly of blunt force trauma. Yehl was driving the car. The funeral for Evan Yehl is Tuesday at 7pm at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Bradford. Funeral arangements for Britt Bookhammer are incomplete.

Yehl was driving the car. A third boy in the car, Ian Clark, is in fair condition after surgery at Hamot Medical Center in Erie. Boys in a car that was traveling with Yehl's car reportedly pulled Ian out before the car burst into flames. Jeffrey Caldwell, Joshua Hilmes and Brenton Goldthwait were all treated at Bradford Regional Medical Center Friday night, then released.

One student we spoke with this afternoon says the tragedy seems to have brought the student body together, and they are closer than they've ever been. Many students have the message R.I.P on their My Space pages.
