A suburban community is mourning after an Evanston Township high school student was killed in a crash early Monday.
Charles Halliday, 17, was driving an Audi SUV when he crashed with a box truck just after midnight Monday in the 1100 block of Waukegan Road in Deerfield, according to the Lake County Coroner’s Office.
Halliday, of Evanston, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Deerfield Police Department. The coroner’s office said Halliday died from blunt force trauma.
Halliday was a senior and member of the theater community at Evanston Township High School.
“The time, talent and care he gave to this community were meaningful to so many, and his presence made a difference in ways that will always be remembered,” Principal Quiana McNeal said. “His loss will be deeply felt by the many students, staff members, and others whose lives he touched.”
McNeal encouraged students who needed support to reach out to an adult for help.
“Our hearts are with Charles’s family, friends, teachers, and all who knew and loved him,” McNeal said. “As a school community, we will hold space for one another and support those who are grieving in the days ahead.”
