UPDATE | 16-year-old sophomore killed on way to school in Wayne County

The name of a high school student athlete who died Tuesday morning on state Route 152 has been released.

The Wayne County Sheriff's Office has identified him as Colt Thomas Adams, 16, who was a standout varsity football and basketball player at Wayne High School. Colt was a sophomore at Wayne High.

State Route 152 was closed for hours as crews cleared the scene. The crash, which was reported just before 9 a.m., involved a tractor-trailer and an SUV.

Colt's sister, who was a passenger in the SUV with him, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. An elementary school student, she is expected to recover, according to Wayne High football coach Tom Harmon.

The crash happened about halfway between Lavalette and Wayne on a relatively straight stretch of roadway before a sharp curve locals call "all-day curve."

One sports ranking had Colt as the fourth best tight end in the state for the upcoming season late this summer and fall.

Harmon described Colt as "committed" and "selfless" -- a confident voice in the huddle -- but also someone who didn't take himself too seriously.

"We have a sign on our locker room that says '11 brothers are hard to beat,' " Harmon said. "When you see the kids hurting, it means something to you."

Senior Tanner Owens says Colt was a gifted athlete with a bright future.

"Colt was always very positive, always had a smile on his face," Owens said. "He was more of a brother than a friend."

Details about how the crash happened are unavailable at this time.

"A buddy of mine texted me and told me, and I didn't believe it at first," Owens said. "Then I pulled around to the front of the gym to leave, and Coach Harmon and everybody was out here. I saw their faces, and I knew it was real."
