Troopers say all four teens in the car were ejected. McAffee died yesterday afternoon.

Today the school brought in counselors to speak with the students. "We had a group session in our library this morning. A number of students that felt like they needed to came done and participated in a real positive session of sharing some memories of their friend," Principal Paul Sweat explained.

Two of the injured students are still in the hospital. The other has been released.
