At about 4:00 p.m. on January 17, a Dodge van carrying 10 Utah State University students and one Utah State faculty member rolled just west of Tremonton. Lt. Ed Michaud was the first law enforcement to arrive one the scene. When asked about the incident he said it was “one of the worst things I’ve had to witness.” He immediately started helping four of the victims.
The crash is apparently due to a mechanical malfunction. Kyle Holden, manager of a farm implement store in Tremonton, said, “I passed them and I glanced over and saw their back tire blow.” All 10 students and the driver, Evan Parker, were ejected from the van.
Jennie Smith was following the van. “All I saw was dust,” “I had a cell phone. I called 911.” Smith arrived at the scene of the accident shortly after Holden. Smith claims that there were 3 survivors life-flight to hospitals and 1 taken in an ambulance. Their current condition is not yet known.
