LAS VEGAS (AP) – Four college students from Oregon were among those hurt when a vehicle plowed into pedestrians on a sidewalk outside a Las Vegas Strip casino.

Pacific University spokesman Joe Lang says the students are members of the wrestling team and were in Las Vegas to compete in a tournament. He says 19 athletes and coaches were walking together Sunday night when the woman swerved onto the sidewalk.

The crash killed one person and injured dozens of others.

Lang says three of the four injured students were taken to a hospital. Two students were later released, and the other was kept overnight for observation.

He says the team won’t compete in Monday’s tournament.

Pacific University is based in Forest Grove, about 30 miles west of Portland.
