A local high school is in mourning following the tragic death of one of its guidance counselors and sports coaches.
49-year-old William Scully, a guidance counselor and volleyball coach at Sterling High School in Stratford, was killed on I-295 Tuesday night, NJ.com reports.
Scully was reportedly having vehicle trouble while travelling in the southbound lanes just before 10:30 p.m. and had pulled over to the right shoulder of the road near Exit 39 to examine the problem.
He was then struck by a passing driver. That driver was a 19-year-old from Sicklerville, according to 6abc.com.
