A van carrying 10 Utah State University students and one professor rolled off Interstate 84 at 4pm this afternoon. The students were part of a several car caravan returning from a Tremonton field trip. There are four known casualties whose names have not yet been released. First to arrive on the scene was 31-year-old Kyle Holden who was aiding the Professor, Evan Parker with the students’ field trip. According to Holden, as he was passing the van on the highway he saw the back tire blow. The van then began to roll. Second on the scene was Jennie Smith who commented that when she got to the van "there was no one left in the van." Officials and witness confirmed that all eleven passengers were ejected from the van. Smith also said that she saw 3 individuals being life flown and one taken in an ambulance all to neighboring hospitals. Lieutenant Ed Michaud said the accident was "one of the worst scenes I've had to witness in 15year. Michaud was the first officer on the scene and said that he came upon the accident while doing a routine Highway patrol.
The final injury and fatality counts as well as names of all victims have yet to be released. It is clear, however, that all victims were unable to walk and injuries are presumed serious. The witnesses have admitted that they had no former medical training to rely on. Holden said" I'm a boy scout, that’s about it." The students were all members of the College of Agriculture at Utah State University. All other information about the accident is pending the ongoing investigation by police.

Good work. You really wrote a lot in a such a short amount of time.
Great Job! I agree with Terane, you wrote a ton for such a short amount of time! Congratulations!
Hey! Great job, it was very accurate and informative. Not bad at all for writing it in fifteen minutes. I really liked the structure and order. Good quotes too. The only improvements that could be made that I noticed were a couple of punctuation errors.
