Penn State student-driver dead in hotel van crash
STATE COLLEGE (AP) – A Penn State student has been killed when the university hotel van he was driving crashed near the campus.
Police and Penn State officials have yet to release the name of the male student who was killed Sunday about 2 p.m.
He was driving a shuttle van for the Penn Stater, one of two hotels owned and operated by the university.
Police say the driver missed an exit ramp for the hotel and tried to make the turn anyway, hitting a sign post and a concrete barrier.
The student-driver was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center a short time later where he died.
Several bystanders tried to pull the man from the van, which caught fire after the crash. He was freed after emergency crews arrived.
