In a tragic crash near the Wyoming–Colorado border, three members of the University of Wyoming’s swimming and diving team lost their lives. The victims were sophomore Charlie Clark, 19, of Las Vegas; junior Luke Slabber, 21, of Cape Town, South Africa; and freshman Carson Muir, 18, of Birmingham, Alabama. The accident occurred at the intersection of U.S. Highway 287 and Red Mountain Road between Livermore and Virginia Dale, Colorado.
Preliminary reports indicate the driver swerved, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and roll several times. The crash remains under investigation, and the Colorado State Patrol says factors such as speed, impairment, or distraction have not been ruled out.
