All other Fairborn Schools activities scheduled for Friday evening and through the weekend were cancelled. Clingner had run for the Fairborn High School cross country team and appeared on the high school’s honor roll according to the district’s website.
Counseling was offered at the high school from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, before the vigil. Additional counseling will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Gayheart said. People will enter through the main doors and check in at the main office for it, she said.
Clingner was driving east on Dayton-Xenia Road on Friday morning with two other teens in her Volkswagen Beetle. They were struck at the intersection of Trebein Road by a dump truck that was headed south on Treibein, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Xenia Post.
Clingner succumbed to her injuries at the scene, while the other two passengers were sent to area hospitals, OSHP said.
