The Canton community is mourning the loss of a GlenOak High School student following a crash Thursday afternoon.

Few details about the accident are known at this time, but the Plain Local School District took to Facebook with the following message to the community:

 “It is with great sorrow that we inform you that two GlenOak students, were involved in a car accident this afternoon resulting in the death of Aaron Laudermilt and leaving his brother, Kevin in critical condition. We ask that you keep them and the Laudermilt family in your thoughts and prayers as they are needed more than ever at this time.

During difficult times like this, we must be prepared to care for and support each other as we deal with the many feelings that we begin to experience. Beginning tomorrow, we will have grief counselors available in room A111 at GlenOak High School for any students or staff who feel the need to speak with someone regarding this tragedy.

We ask that you respect the privacy of this family as they mourn this tragic loss.”

The crash investigation continues.
