LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Spencer County community is mourning the loss of a student.
According to a Facebook post, Spencer County High School announced Nathan Wimsatt died following a car crash sometime Saturday night.
The student-athlete, they said, was beloved member of their school community and part of their soccer and tennis teams.
“Please be in prayer for Nathan’s family, our students, and our staff as we face the grief that the coming days will bring,” the post read.
The school said grief counselors will be available in the library on Monday to provide support for all staff and students.
They were also scheduled to begin KSA testing but have delayed it so they can “focus on the well-being of their school family.”
On Monday, Kentucky State Police said the agency was investigating the crash.
KSP said Wimsatt lost control of his vehicle on Lilly Pike, in Spencer County, and struck an embankment. The car overturned and police said the teen was ejected from the vehicle.
