Peru State College students, faculty and staff are united in shock and grief over the loss of student Vincent Chambers, who was involved in a fatal car accident Sunday.
Tucson, Arizona native Chambers, 20, died following a one-car accident that occurred February 29 three miles north of Faucett, MO. He was driving south on Interstate 29 in a 1993 Dodge Intrepid when the car traveled off the east side of the interstate and struck a guardrail. The car then tumbled into the median, ejecting Chambers from the vehicle. The car stopped upright in the median.
The car's two passengers, friends of Chambers; refused medical attention at the scene of the accident. Both also are from Tucson.
Chambers, a junior, was a starter on the basketball team studying psychology at Peru State.
"Vince was by all accounts a great young man with many friends," said Dr. Ben E. Johnson, president of Peru State College. "He earned the friendship and respect of his coaches and instructors, as well. He will be missed."
Johnson announced the creation of the Vincent Chambers Basketball Scholarship to honor Chambers. To contribute to the scholarship fund, please send checks made out to the Peru State College Foundation-Chambers Scholarship to P.O. Box 10 Peru, Nebraska 68421.
