  11. Headlines: Eight killed in Utah State University Van Rollover By Paul Foy ASSOCIATED PRESS 10:09 p.m. September 26, 2005 TREMONTON, Utah – A Utah State University van returning to campus from a field trip blew a tire on Interstate 84 and rolled over, killing seven agriculture students and an instructor. Three other students were hospitalized. The van overturned Monday on the freeway near Tremonton, about 65 miles northwest of Salt Lake City. All 11 occupants were thrown from the van. The students were underclassmen, mostly freshmen. "Some have only been on campus a couple of weeks," university President Stan Albrecht said, calling the deaths an "incredible tragedy." No one in the 16-passenger van, driven by the instructor, was wearing a seatbelt, the Utah Highway Patrol said. Six men were pronounced dead at the scene. Two others died at hospitals. Two of the survivors were in critical condition at McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, hospital supervisor Robert Miller said. A third was taken to Ogden Regional Medical Center. .... The single-vehicle crash occurred at about 4:30 p.m. It appeared the left rear tire on the eastbound van had blown as it tried to pass another vehicle, said patrol Lt. Ed Michaud. The Dodge van rolled four times, coming to rest on its wheels about six feet from a 50-foot-deep ravine, troopers said. The van's roof was collapsed to the windows. Parts of the vehicle and personal belongings littered the area near the freeway. "It was a horrific, nasty accident," said Trooper Jason Jensen. "It was one of those things you don't want to drive up on." Albrecht said the students had been on a field trip to look at harvest equipment near Tremonton, west of the Logan campus. Utah State University has about 21,000 students. .....A similar rollover shocked the school in April 2001. Six members of the men's volleyball club were injured when their Dodge van flipped over near Laramie, Wyoming. The crash prompted a government safety warning for large-sized vans.
