KU Student Critical After Colorado Car Crash
A Kansas University master’s student from China, Xun Sun, 32, remained in intensive care in Grand Junction after a Sunday crash on Interstate 70. Sun, not wearing a lap belt, was ejected when his car rolled several times on the 75 mph highway. Authorities found no alcohol involvement. KU officials arranged for Sun’s mother and aunt to travel from China as Sun recovers from severe head injuries. Sun had been at KU since 2001, and a university spokesman noted this is the second KU student in a major crash since spring classes adjourned.
