A terrible car crash near the Wyoming-Colorado border claimed the lives of three teenage members of the University of Wyoming swimming and diving team.
The victims were identified as junior Luke Slabber, 21, from Cape Town, South Africa; sophomore Charlie Clark, 19, from Las Vegas; and freshman Carson Muir, 18, from Birmingham, Alabama.
Between Livermore and Virginia Dale, Colorado, at the intersection of Red Mountain Road and U.S. Highway 287, they lost their lives.
Initial findings indicate that the driver’s swerving caused the vehicle to veer off the road and roll numerous times. The Colorado State Patrol stated on Friday that the accident is currently being investigated and that no potential causes, including speed, intoxication, or other distractions, have been ruled out as contributing to the tragic tragedy.
After suffering minor injuries during this tragic incident, two more members of the men’s swimming and diving team were discharged from the hospital. Notably, one of the survivors was driving a car at the time of the collision, which occurred just before 2:45 p.m.
