PAGE COUNTY, Va. — The assistant principal of Briar Woods High School in Loudoun County, Va. died in a car crash on Monday evening, according the school's principal.
Police say 27-year-old Jonathan D. Kite died at the scene as a result of the injuries he sustained during the crash.
On Monday around 4:54 p.m., police say Kite's vehicle ran off the roadway on Route 211, went across the median and hit another car head-on. The driver of that car also died at the scene, police said. His identity has not been been released.
The impact of the crash caused Kite's vehicle to hit another car after the initial collision. The 27-year-old woman who was driving the third car was no injured in the crash, police said.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
On Tuesday, the principal of Briar Woods High School sent the following statement to students' parents:
"To the members of the Briar Woods community,
