Indiana ? Five college students died Wednesday night when a truck crashed through a median on Interstate 69 and collided with their van.

All were Taylor University students who had been returning to the school’s Upland campus after working to set up for a banquet today at its Fort Wayne campus, school spokesman Jim Garringer said.

The collision peeled open the side of the van, and several occupants were ejected, said state police Sgt. Rodger Popplewell. The semi driver was among five injured.
