Two high school seniors died in a car crash in Oklahoma City on Sunday, April 30, according to police and family members. Kaleb Newport, 18, was driving a Chevrolet Camaro when the vehicle ran off the road and hit a tree head-on. Newport and his backseat passenger, 18-year-old Nathan Nguyen, died at the scene. The car’s front-seat passenger sustained “serious injuries” and was taken to Oklahoma University Medical Center, police said in a preliminary report.
Investigators said Newport was driving at a high speed and did not brake before hitting the tree. There were “several alcohol containers” in the car and none of the passengers were wearing a seatbelt, according to police. All three passengers in the car were students at Westmoore High School, school district officials confirmed.
“On April 30, 2023, Moore Public Schools was notified that two of our students passed away in an auto accident. They will be deeply missed by the Westmoore Jaguar family. Another student is at OU Medical Center, but specifics about his status are unknown,” the district said in a statement.
Newport and Nguyen were both seniors just weeks away from graduating. Loved ones have shared tributes for Nguyen and Newport on social media.
