HORSE CAVE, Ky.-Caverna High School students came together on Tuesday to remember Kaci Wilson, who taught English for two years at the school. Wilson was killed on Sunday afternoon in a three-car crash on Campbell Lane.

Students at Caverna met in front of the school just before sundown holding candles and balloons. One by one students said kind words about Wilson, many getting emotional as they spoke.

According to a Bowling Green Police, Wilson was a passenger in a car driven by Noel Cruz-Lemus when the vehicle they were in lost control and collided with another car. A third car rear-ended the car that struck Wilson.

Cruz-Lemus and two other people involved in the crash were taken to a hospital. Cruz-Lemus sustained severe injuries.
