Students from Wisconsin were injured while driving through Missouri on their way to Texas during Spring Break.

They were traveling north on I-55 when the driver of the vehicle steered to the right to avoid hitting a vehicle that was merging into their lane. Their vehicle then veered off the right side of the road and struck a guardrail and a concrete pillar.

A 23-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. Six others were injured and three of those were said to be in serious condition.
