LUMBERTON, N.C. -

Grief counselors will be on hand at Fairmont High School and South Robeson High School to offer counseling services for students following a head on collision that killed three Robeson County students and one alumni Monday.

The State Highway Patrol said a Nissan Maxima driven by one of the students collided head-on with a Robeson County school bus around 10:15 a.m. on Wire Grass Road.

Kadaufei Worley, 16, Tylek McNair,18, Daylon Cummings, 15, and Kashawn Leonard, 19 died in the crash.

The bus, driven by a school mechanic, did not have any students on board at the time of the crash, according to Robeson County Public Information Officer, Tasha Oxendine.

The driver of the school bus was 36-year-old Kinyata Locklear who was treated at Southeastern Regional Medical Center for serious injuries and later released.

State troopers said Worley, the driver of the Maxima, was traveling at speeds of up to 80 mph.

Lt. Jeff Gordon with the State Highway Patrol said early reports that the Maxima was being chased by Robeson County deputies were false.

School officials said they were deeply saddened by the loss.

McNair was a senior at Fairmont High School where he played football. Leonard graduated last year from Fairmont and played basketball and football.
