Teammates of Carter Johnson, a resident of Rapid City, South Dakota, tried to save his life by performing CPR, according to the Iowa State Patrol.

Those and other details of the devastating crash which also injured 32 people were released Thursday afternoon during a press conference at the college’s Estherville campus.

College President Scott Stokes and Troy Larson, vice president of student affairs and athletic director, thanked Iowans for their support.

“The outpouring of compassion has been very powerful,” Larson said.

“Our baseball team is more than a roster, it’s part of our family,” he said.

The crash happened at 11:06 a.m. on Iowa Highway 4 on a curve known as the Jolley curve for its proximity to the city of that name. The location is about a mile and a half north of U.S.
