Two high school students from Indiana died in a car crash Saturday on their way to the prom.

The students were identified as Hamilton Heights High School senior Kalen Hart and her prom date, Lendon Byram, a student at Cathedral High School, according to reports.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own ... due to injuries sustained in a traffic accident yesterday," the Hamilton Heights School Corporation wrote. "This is an unimaginable loss to these families and our school community."

A person driving another car involved in the crash declined medical assistance at the scene, reports said.

The crash is being investigated by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (Hamilton County Sheriff's Office)

All Hamilton Heights prom activities were canceled after the fatal crash. School counselors and support staff were made available to meet with students and their families.

"Grief is personal and everyone experiences and processes loss and trauma differently," HHSC said.

Hart's mother, Jody Bartrom Conaway, shared a fundraiser on Facebook seeking $15,000 to cover funeral and burial expenses.
