Highway Patrol: Utah St athletes weren't wearing seatbelts (Yahoo Sports)

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Utah State athletes injured in a highway accident apparently were not wearing seatbelts.

The Utah Highway Patrol said Saturday preliminary indications show that was the case.

Four football players and a former softball player were hurt in Trenton on Friday when a tractor-trailer collided with their SUV. Trenton is 20 miles north of Logan, where the university is located.

The driver, Travis Seefeldt, was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital and is in critical condition. Sarah Vasquez was in the front passenger seat and was also airlifted and is in critical condition.
