Lawrence police Wednesday released the accident report from the Aug. 21 crash on Naismith Drive involving five Kansas University students.
The 1:10 a.m. accident occurred when a black Ford Mustang full of Kansas University Oliver Hall residents crossed the median and struck a tree, injuring all those in the car.
The report lists alcohol as a contributing factor in the accident.
According to the report, when officers arrived, they found two individuals lying in the street. They had apparently been ejected from the car. Another two students were sitting on the curb with cuts and scrapes, while a third student remained trapped inside the automobile. The report says the vehicle accelerated rapidly before encountering a curve in the road, and then the driver, Nicholas Dutoit, lost control of the vehicle, striking a tree. Passenger Christopher Hong estimated the vehicle was traveling at 30 mph.
The driver, as well as his four passengers, have all been released from the hospital.
