Two Tennessee college athletes were killed and seven others injured when a reckless driver crashed into a cycling team during their training ride Wednesday morning.
Milligan University sophomores Haylan Engdahl and Brayden Rogers were part of an 11-cyclist training session when they were allegedly struck by 69-year-old John Benfield just before 9:00 a.m. on Highway 19E in Hampton, Tenn, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said.
“We are profoundly shocked and saddened to share that members of our cycling team were in an accident involving a vehicle this morning while cycling,” Milligan University said in a statement. “There are no words to adequately describe this level of loss. Our prayers are with all those impacted by this tragedy.”
