A student leaving campus was in a single car accident early afternoon Tuesday. According to Charles Schaffner, director of Public Safety, "speed and
a slightly wet road" caused the accident. The student was heading off campus down the main drive towards King of Prussia Road. Apparently, the vehicle was over into the in-bound lane on it's way off campus. The vehicle went out of con-
trol when the driver tried to correct his position. The black Volkswagen then went up on one side, then came back down and hit a tree that spun out the tail. The vehicle ended up down among the trees on the out-bound side of the roadway.
The posted speed limit for that section of the roadway is 15 mph. Schaffner estimated the speed of the vehicle to be "in excess of 35 or 40 mph." Public Safety will issue a citation to the student. Radnor Township Po-
lice were called in to the site of the accident and may pursue further action. Schaffner pointed out that this year the school striped the driveway to "delineate one side from the other."
