Students and staff at Tehipite Middle School are mourning the loss of a teenager killed in a car crash Sunday night.
13 year old Monique Sandhu was one of three who died when the car she was riding in hit a light pole at a high rate of speed.
Sandhu was an 8th grader at the Fresno school.
A crisis team was on campus Tuesday to help students and staff.
The faculty says Sandhu was a very popular student, and had a lot of potential.
The other two victims who died in the crash have been identified as the driver, Jose Barigga, 18, and Francisco Godinez – Gonzalez, 16.
Two others were hurt in the accident.
Police say the driver of the vehicle may have been driving under the influence.

I wanna say thank you for everybodys help... this is moniques oldest sister. i also wanna say my prayers o out to the other victums of the car accident. no matter how strict your parents can be teengers have their own mind and are going to do what they want to do.. so any teenegers or parents reading this help them understand that parents and people do the things we do to protect and keep you safe. so things like this wont happen to your little sister or family. my sister will deepily be missed.

Just want to send my condolences to the families trying to cope through this difficult loss. For those who knew Monique, she truly was an Angel. As my former student, Monique stood out for her sense of humor, compassion for her peers, outgoing and unique personality, academics, and for always giving her best - day in and day out. MO' just wanted to share with you that a lot of your friends came by my room 2day and all miss you. You will always be in our hearts and our prayers go out 2 your MOM.

My prayers go out to all the families. Please be mindful no matter who was at fault now is not the time to point fingers. And unfortunalty we as parent can't be every where all the time. So pray for the families and may you who are pointing fingers never have to go thru what they are going thru.
