Two Randolph-Macon College students from Norfolk were killed in a single-car accident in France early Friday morning. Both were 20.
Traylor Cozart Nunnally, of the 500 block of Colonial Ave., and Charles Forsyth Wirth, of the 1100 block of Graydon Ave., crashed near the Swiss border, not far from Geneva.
Details about the accident were not available.
The two sophomores, 1993 graduates of Norfolk Academy, were visiting a relative of Wirth's near the village of Chamonix this week during their spring vacation from Randolph-Macon, in Ashland, Va.
Nunnally was majoring in economics and business and was a member of the college's lacrosse team.
Wirth was a biology major and played soccer briefly during his freshman year.
Both students were members of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Wirth was the son of Dr. Frederick H. Wirth Jr. of Philadelphia, formerly a neonatologist at Virginia Beach General Hospital, and Julia Harkins of Norfolk. Nunnally was the son of R. Wayne and Frances Nunnally of Norfolk.
The two students had been close since childhood.
``They were both special people who were wonderful,'' said Mary Helen McCoy, a friend of both families. ``They were really special kids. They made everybody smile.''
A college spokeswoman said the bodies would be returned to the United States in about five days. Funeral arrangements are pending. ILLUSTRATION: Longtime Friends
