University of Wyoming Community Stunned After 3 Students Are Tragically Killed

In a devastating incident near the Wyoming-Colorado border, three young lives from the University of Wyoming’s swimming and diving team were tragically cut short in a car crash.

The victims, identified as sophomore Charlie Clark, 19, from Las Vegas; junior Luke Slabber, 21, from Cape Town, South Africa; and freshman Carson Muir, 18, from Birmingham, Alabama, lost their lives at the intersection of U.S. Highway 287 and Red Mountain Road in between Livermore and Virginia Dale, Colorado.

The early findings indicate that the driver swerved, leading the vehicle to veer off the road and roll multiple times. The university stated that the accident is currently under investigation, and the Colorado State Patrol, on Friday, mentioned that no potential factors have been ruled out, including speed, impairment, or other distractions that might have contributed to the tragic crash.

Amidst this heartbreaking incident, two other members of the men’s swimming and diving team sustained non-life-threatening injuries and have been discharged from the hospital. Notably, one of the survivors was behind the wheel when the crash occurred shortly before 2:45 p.m.

The vehicle, a Toyota RAV4 carrying five occupants, left the southbound lane and rolled multiple times, resulting in the ejection of two individuals, as reported by the Colorado State Patrol, which is actively investigating the details surrounding the accident.

While all the victims were part of the university’s swimming team, it’s important to clarify that they were not on official school business at the time of the tragic incident.

In response to this heartbreaking news, University of Wyoming President Ed Seidel expressed deep sorrow, emphasizing that words fall short in conveying the profound sadness felt by the university, the state, and the broader student-athlete community. Tom Burman, the Director of Athletics, shared his thoughts and prayers, acknowledging the challenge of losing members of the University of Wyoming family. He highlighted the availability of counseling services for student-athletes and coaches during this difficult time.

As the community grapples with this profound loss, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, along with his wife, expressed their mourning over the tragic event. They urged everyone to keep the families, friends, and loved ones of the victims close to their hearts during this challenging period.

This devastating incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the unpredictable nature of tragic accidents. The University of Wyoming, the state, and the broader community will undoubtedly come together to support one another through this difficult time, honoring the memory of the young lives lost in this tragic event.
