TREMONTON On Wednesday, January 17 at about 4 PM a van carrying 11 passengers rolled on Interstate 84 west killing at least 4 people.
The 15 passenger Dodge van was full of Utah State Agriculture students headed home after a field trip to a farm implement store. Kyle Holden, the 31-year-old witness who had taken the students to his store said as he was passing the van he saw the driver side rear tire blowout. After the tire blew professor and driver Evan Parker tried to gain control of the vehicle but failed to do so. The van thereafter rolled. Holden was passing the van at 80-81 mph. “So they were [driving] less than that.”
Jennie Smith another witness who was following the van said, “All I saw was dust.” Smith was the second to arrive on the scene after Holden. Smith was carrying a cell phone and dialed 911.
Lt. Ed Machaud, first authority at the scene, said all of the 11 passengers were ejected. At least one survivor Robby Peterson was taken to an Ogden area hospital.

Taylor good job. You explained the story very well. One thing I noticed is that you mention the name of the professor and one student. I'm not sure if you’re allowed to give out personal information about the accident. What if the families didn't want people to know about the accident? Other than that good job!
Taylor,
Your story was very detailed and sounded like it came right from the newspaper. I really enjoyed it!
I really liked the amount of detail in your story, you answered the questions I had about the accident. One thing you might want to consider is making your opening line a little more of an attention getter, but other then that it was really great! ;-)
Taylor,
I really liked your story. It was well written and informative. Way to go!
After reading your last one and this one you can tell a huge difference. This one just seems like you were trying to fit as much information without thinking about sentence structure or anything
