"Multiple members of a Santa Clarita girls hockey team were injured in Colorado after an out-of-control snow plow slammed into their sprinter van on Thursday, killing an adult traveling with the team and leaving one of the players in critical condition, authorities said. The crash occurred at 8:54 a.m. when the plow driver, traveling westbound in snowy weather, slammed through the median of Interstate 70 and into oncoming eastbound traffic where it collided with a sprinter van carrying the team,"
"Prescott Littlefield, the president of the Santa Clarita Flyers Hockey Club, wrote in a Facebook post that members of the 12 and Under Lady Flyers team were on their way to Denver to participate in a Western Girls Hockey League weekend. "Words cannot express the heartbreak we are experiencing," he said. "Please hold these families in your prayers." The Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported that the driver who died was the father of one of the girls."
