Alexis Faye of Newton was honored with white ribbons tied around town Monday, two days after the fatal accident.
She was traveling in a Mercedes on Greendale Road in Fredon late Saturday afternoon when the car veered off the roadway and slammed into several trees, police said.
Faye, a junior at the school, was in the car with 17-year-old Anthony Burke, who was driving, as well as Maria Fiore, 16, of Andover, and Nicholas Chavarria, 17, of Newton, State Police said. Burke and Fiore were airlifted from the scene, while Chavarria suffered minor injuries.
Remembered as a "flourishing" high school junior who served as a counselor at Redeemer Lutheran Bible Camp, Faye was also trying to launch a girls lacrosse league in Newton.
