Tragic Accident Kills Four from Utah State University
TREMONTON, Utah-
A van carrying eleven people from Utah State University, one instructor and 10 students, crashed on Thursday around 4:00 p.m. Four of the passengers are pronounced dead. The van was on route to Tremonton traveling eastbound on Interstate 84. Kyle Holden, from Green Line Implements, was following the van on the field trip. Holden was passing the van in the fast lane when he looked back and saw that the driver’s side rear tire blew out. The driver of the van, Evan Parker, then lost control of the vehicle and drove off of the road then rolled several times. Holden said that Parker did all that he could to keep control of the vehicle by not applying the breaks after the tire blew. Holden said that he had his cruise control set at about 79 mph when he passed the van.
Lieutenant Jason Jensen was the first to arrive at the scene. Jensen said, “Within my 15 years of experience here on the force this is by far the worst accident I have ever seen. It will really have a big effect on the community. With this many involved it really is a tragedy. This is something that will effect people for years.”
Noel Cockett, Dean of the College of Agriculture, said that the time and location for memorial services will be released tomorrow. Utah State University has canceled all of the activities planned for Agriculture Week.

Turner to join the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
LOGAN, Utah-
Ted Turner was seen exiting a private jet with Bill and Melinda Gates on Wednesday. The trio was on their way to meet with an African Mayor, Malik Ok. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has joined its forces with Ted Turner and Warren Buffett. Turner is more actively involved than Buffett. Bill Gates commented on the new addition to his team, “it’s more efficient for him (Ted) to work with us.”
The foundation is working with the World Health Organization to teach African’s basic and complex health information in an effort to put an end to the disease that is so prevalent. This education will range from simple sanitation concepts to knowledge about small pox, measles, and AIDS/HIV. The goal of the foundation is to not only provide the tools and supplies necessary to improve their quality of life but to also give them the education and skills needed to succeed without the constant aid from America. Malik Ok said, “There is a lot of disease everywhere. I like their philosophy of educating and providing the supplies.”
Bill Gates said that they are working where they can do the most good. There will be more details released on their plans at a later press conference.
