Driver Doing 'Doughnuts' In Parking Lot Dies

SUV On CSU Lot Flips

POSTED: 10:50 am EDT July 20, 2007

A driver doing "doughnuts" in a parking lot near the Colorado State University campus was killed Wednesday night when his vehicle flipped and crashed.

The incident occurred at about 8 p.m. in the parking lot of CSU's Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory.

A witness told the Fort Collins Coloradan that the driver pulled into the parking lot and then gunned the accelerator.

The driver was thrown from behind the wheel to the passenger side and then out the window, witnesses said. The vehicle flipped and partially rolled over the victim, a CSU spokesman said.

Three other people in the Ford Explorer were not hurt.

All of the occupants were in their late teens or early 20s. The victim has not been identified. Police are investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role.
