ORIGINAL STORY:

A 2010 graduate of Westhampton Beach High School was killed early Friday morning in a hit-and-run accident in Maryland, where he attended college, authorities said.

Cory Hubbard, 22, was crossing Baltimore Avenue on foot in College Park at around 1:35 a.m. when he was struck by a vehicle that detectives described as a dark blue metallic sedan, which immediately fled the scene, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department.

Mr. Hubbard suffered critical injuries and was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, police said.

He was a senior at the nearby University of Maryland majoring in kinesiology, the study of physical activity and its role in human health.

The Reverend Chuck Cary, pastor of the Westhampton Presbyterian Church and who baptized Mr. Hubbard as a baby, described him Friday afternoon as a “day-brightener” and a smart young man who had his whole life ahead of him.

“This is a very, very sad day,” Rev. Cary said. “I think everyone’s heart is broken.”

Rev. Cary added that Mr. Hubbard’s parents, Ralph and Holly Hubbard of Westhampton Beach, his brother, Kyle Hubbard, as well as his grandfather, Ben Larson of Westhampton Beach, were still in shock. Ms. Hubbard is a physcial education teacher at the Westhampton Beach Middle School.

“I know I speak for everyone when I say it’s hard to even begin to make sense of these tragedies,” Rev. Cary said, adding that the family has not yet scheduled services.

During his time at Westhampton Beach High School, Cory Hubbard was a talented athlete, earning recognition as an All-County lacrosse goalie. He also led the varsity football team as quarterback and was top competitor on the varsity wrestling team.

The Prince George’s County Police Department department released an image of the suspected vehicle that was captured on a surveillance camera immediately after the accident, and officials said they are offering a cash reward for assistance in the case. The vehicle sustained front-end damage in the incident, police said.

Officials with the department also said another individual was crossing the street at the time of the accident, but they had not yet confirmed whether that individual was another student or with Mr. Hubbard. Police said he was not in a crosswalk when he was fatally struck.

In a statement, Westhampton Beach Schools Superintendent Michael Radday described Mr. Hubbard as an "exceptional young man who was held in the highest esteem by our faculty, his classmates, and the entire school community."

"He was an excellent student and a gifted athlete—but most importantly he was an outstanding human being who touched the lives of so many people in a positive way," Mr. Radday continued. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hubbard family during this difficult time."

University of Maryland President Wallace Loh also released a statement Friday regarding the incident.

“It is with deep sadness that we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the University of Maryland student killed this morning in a tragic, senseless accident,” he states in the release. “In this time of loss, I ask that the entire Maryland family keep them in our thoughts and prayers.”
