A University of Kansas student was killed in a car crash Sunday afternoon on the Kansas Turnpike.

The one-vehicle accident occurred around 1:20 p.m. near the interchange of I-70 and I-435 in Kansas City, Kan., according to the Kansas Turnpike Authority accident report. Shuofeng Yu, 20, was one of three occupants in the car, which was headed east when the driver, a 19-year-old man, lost control of the vehicle and struck a set of steel bridge pillars.

University spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson confirmed that Shuofeng Yu was enrolled in KU’s Academic Accelerator Program, an intensive first-year experience program for international students, but she could not provide further details.

“I am saddened to learn of the death of Shuofeng Yu,” KU chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement. “It is with a heavy heart that I extend, on behalf of the entire university community, our deepest condolences to his family and friends.”

The driver and second passenger, a 19-year-old man, endured nonfatal injuries. Both are Lawrence residents, according to the accident report.
