Sad UCD Accident

This terrible story caught my attention, not only because it occurred on a familiar roadway, but because the victims were closely-connected to the rowing team. I know one coxswain for the team (TD): Inabnett was a coxswain as well.

The world really is a terribly small place:
The University of California, Davis, lost two of its students in a Friday morning crash, while another was hospitalized in critical condition.

Matthew Rybicki, 22, of Oakley was driving a gray 2000 Hyundai Elantra when it collided with a big rig about 5:10 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 80, west of the Richards Boulevard exit to Davis, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP spokesman Officer Marvin Williford said Rybicki was pronounced dead at the scene. One of his two passengers, Julie Bryant, 19, of Martinez died later at an area hospital.

The third student, Kelly Inabnett, 19, was listed in critical condition Friday evening in UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. Inabnett is from Fairfield.
