A college student's parents died and his siblings injured in a highway crash in North Carolina during a trip to drop him off at school.

Noah Nunney, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was waiting on campus to reunite with his family when he received word of a serious car accident nearby.

"When I arrived to the scene, I thought all four were gone," Nunney told PEOPLE. "They wouldn't let me out of the car, and the way that they sat me down and the look on the officer's face was truly horrifying."

The accident occurred on Friday, Aug. 15, around 1:18 p.m., as Nunney's family members left their hotel to meet him for lunch.
