Tragedy at University
Eleven driving in a van yesterday, rolled off of the road killing seven students and one professor from Utah State University. The van was traveling to Green line after a field trip in Brigham City to see some combine. Kyle Holden was in the vehicle following the van he was in the process of passing the van when he looked back and saw smoke. The van then swerved from the slow lane to the fast lane, then rolled several times.
It is AG week at the university; Professor Evan Parker took ten of his best students on this field trip. Earlier this week Professor Parker mentioned to the Dean of the Agricultural Department “In fifteen years of teaching these are the best group of kids I’ve taught.” Professor Parker was the driver of the van, he died at the scene. Seven others died at the scene, some of the names released were Steven Bair, Kirt Madsen and Brad Wilcox. Robert Peterson and Jared Nelson are currently in an Ogden hospital in critical condition. Ag week at the University is now focusing on these victims there will be a memorial some time this week. This is truly a devastating day to the University and the community.

I liked that you gave a lot of information in your blog. You probably could have made it a little smoother in transition, and not repeated so many little words like then. Ya know what I mean? :)
Thanks for your comment! I thought you did an awesome job with the article and made it seem very realistic. It could've used a few more quotes, but still a great article!
Shoot! that was way better than mine. pretty much I liked everything about it. I guess just maybe a quote or something, but it doesn't absolutely have to have one.
