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.
