 Photo by Kelli Straka Freshman criminal justice major Eric Ferrell was driving the car, a 2006 white Ford Mustang GT. Freshman child development major Eric Haithcock, freshman journalism major Amy Birner and freshman middle grades education major Kelsey Gantt were passengers.
None of the students were injured.
Ferrell lost control of the vehicle while coming up Stadium Drive, Senior Police Officer Travis Osborne said.
Ferrell will be given a citation for careless driving, Osborne said.
Birner, who was in the backseat of the car, said the students are ready to move on from the incident.
“We’re all just glad we’re okay,” she said. “I think that’s what’s important.”
Freshman electronic media broadcasting major Christian Roseboro witnessed the incident while walking back to his dorm.
“My initial reaction was to make sure everybody was safe,” Roseboro said. He called ASU Police and Boone Police, handed the phone to his friend and started helping the students out of the water, along with the help of four or five others.
Freshman athletic training major Rachael Thompson witnessed the incident as well, while she was coming out of the free expression tunnel closest to the CAP building.
“I was shocked,” Thompson said. “I didn’t know what to do.”
