KIEL, Wis. (WFRV) -- The Kiel School Area District shared a somber update on Facebook today, identifying a June car crash victim as 17-year-old Kaitlynn Reinhardt, an eleventh-grade student at Kiel High School. "Our entire school district and community will remember Kaitlynn as a kind and caring student that would do anything for those that she cared about," read the post. "Kaitlynn always showed genuine concern for the feelings of others and looked out for how others were being treated." Kaitlynn passed away on June 13. According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office, her vehicle failed to negotiate a curve and left the roadway.

There were five to six occupants involved in the crash, according to the post. Several passengers, including Reinhardt, were transported to hospitals. The 16-year-old driver was arrested and transported to the Fond du Lac County Jail on suspicion of Homicide by Intoxicated Use of a Motor Vehicle.
