Central High Teen Dies After Alabama Wreck; Three Others Injured
July 10, 2015
A Central High School student has passed away from injuries he received in an Alabama traffic crash, and three other Central students are recovering.
According to Alabama State Troopers, 17-year old Christopher J. Free of Milton was ejected from a pickup truck on I-10 about 10 miles west of Mobile about 6:30 Tuesday. He later later died from his injuries at the University of South Alabama Medical Center.
Free was one of three passengers in a 1990 Mazda pickup driven by another 17-year old that left interstate, over turned and struck a tree. Free was not wearing a seat belt, according to troopers. The three other teens were transported to area hospitals for treatment. Their identities have not yet been released by authorities.
Grief counselors were on hand at Central School Friday for students and community members.

Prayers for the family.
My heart goes out the families and to the staff and students. May god be with you and comfort you. I went to central back in the eighties and we also lost very loved classmates back then. I know that this time of pain is hard just remember to be there for each other and talk to one another and love one another and remember that god will always be there for you.
