Tragic...Just aweful. I feel like I keep hearing about these types of van accidents happening with all kinds of college groups. Terrible to see it again.

You're right, 1-2 per year. The last was Minnesota Makato group headed to the SAE Formula Race Car Championships. Many schools have banned the use for long group trips.

He was pinned under the van and people on the
scene lifted it off of him, the Iowa State Patrol said.


How did he end up under the van?
