Burnet Quest High School student Logan Dokupil recently lost his life as the result of an automobile crash, which prompted Burnet CISD administrators to offer counseling resources for his classmates.
Around 7 a.m. Dec. 14 in Llano County, a driver identified as Dokupil steered a 2000 Ford Mustang east on Texas 29 toward Buchanan Dam, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety preliminary report.
Because of undisclosed circumstances, the Ford veered off the road, rotated counterclockwise, rolled over on the passenger side until it hit a tree.
According to a statement released by DPS Sgt. Deon Cockrell, the collision shattered the Ford into pieces.
Llano County Justice of the Peace Deb Edwards pronounced the driver dead at the scene at 7:10 a.m.
More details have been withheld pending a complete investigation, DPS officials said.
BCISD officials released a statement soon after incident.
“Our hearts are saddened by his loss," district officials said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Logan’s family.”
Particularly because of an untimely death, school officials want the public to know several mental health resources are available.
