Caroline Found of Iowa City West High School died in a moped accident Thursday night in Coralville.

Found, 17, helped Iowa City West win the Class 4A state volleyball title in 2010 and was a member of the softball team. She would have been a senior this year.

Found lost control of her moped going around a curve on Mormon Trek Boulevard, according to police. She apparently hit a curb and struck a tree in the median.

Police do not think she was wearing a helmet when the crash occured at approximately 9:30 p.m. Thursday.

"Caroline was one of the most kind and thoughtful young ladies we had here," Iowa City West principal Jerry Arganbright told the Iowa City Press-Citizen. "She was a kind and considerate young woman."

Found was a volleyball captain and sports editor of the school newspaper.

"She made friends with everybody," Iowa City West volleyball coach Kathy Bresnahan told the Press-Citizen. "She was the heart and soul of our team. She was an unbelievable person."
