Highway crash in Colorado kills three University of Wyoming swimmers

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — A single-vehicle wreck on a highway in northern Colorado has killed three members of the University of Wyoming swimming and diving team. The crash happened Thursday afternoon on U.S. 287 about 10 miles south of the Wyoming-Colorado line between Laramie and Fort Collins, Colorado. A University of Wyoming statement says the crash injured two other team members who are expected to survive. The crash apparently happened when the driver swerved and went off the pavement, and the vehicle rolled over multiple times. In 2001, eight University of Wyoming cross-country runners died in a head-on crash with a drunk driver on the same highway.
