High School Students Mourn Teen Killed in Crash
LAS VEGAS -- Police know alcohol was involved in a crash early Monday morning that killed 16-year-old Isaac Polu. The crash also sent two other people to the hospital with critical injuries.
Polu was a freshman at Liberty High School and a football player. His fellow students are now facing the sadness of losing a classmate.
"It's going to be different without him," said Gina Maeda, a classmate. She knew Polu for five months but says he made a lasting impression. "He was like a big burst of joy. He was never down, always happy, he always made jokes and made everybody laugh," she said.
Although she is a junior, she met the likeable freshman through friends on the Liberty High School football field.
"A couple of our football players are his cousins and he was just a great kid," said Rich Muraco, Liberty's head football coach.
