UPDATE: Magruder High Senior, Two Grads Killed in Crash

Update, 11:35 p.m.:

Kevin Coffay, 20, is facing multiple charges after police said he left the scene of Sunday morning's fatal crash on Olney-Laytonsville Road in Olney.

Police said Coffay was driving the car that left the road and struck a tree about 3:11 a.m., killing a Magruder High School senior and two Magruder graduates.

Police K-9 units searched for Coffay after the crash, finding him after about three hours outside his home in the 16700 block of Cutlass Drive in Rockville, according to a county police news release.

Coffay was taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries. After his discharge from the hospital he was taken to the Montgomery County Detention Center and charged with the following:

• Failure to immediately return and remain at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury.
• Failure to immediately stop a vehicle at the scene of an accident involving death.
• Failure of a driver involved in an accident to render reasonable assistance to an injured person.
• Failure of a vehicle driver in accident to report (bodily injury, death, attended vehicle damage, property damage) to nearest police.
• Attempt by a driver to elude uniformed police by fleeing on foot. 

Coffay is being held at the county detention center on $500,000 bond, the release said. A bond hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Monday in Montgomery County District Court in Rockville.

Police conducted a blood test to determine if Coffay was under the influence of alcohol. It could be weeks until the results are known. Police also said that it is too early to know if speed was a factor.

Coffay is facing charges for traffic offenses, but could face criminal charges and additional traffic charges after the county police's Collision Reconstruction Unit completes its investigation, the release said.

Hundreds gathered at the Olney Boys and Girls Club Park near the crash scene for a candlelight vigil on Sunday night.
