A Sheboygan Falls woman was killed in a van accident last Friday. According to police reports, the accident occurred in Manitowoc County. 

The woman was apparently riding passenger in a van that did not stop at a stop sign. While rolling through the stop sign, the van was hit by a pickup truck. When medical officials arrived, they pronounced the woman dead at the scene of the accident while the drivers of the van and pickup truck were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. 

A Sheboygan man who backed his minivan into a Pig Stop in July agreed to a plea deal. According to court reports, the man pleaded no contest to Misdemeanor Reckless Driving earlier this week. 

Back in July, the man ran his minivan into the Pig Stop window, which hit the girl behind the counter and killed her. The man apparently put the car into reverse from the driver's side of the vehicle.

A University of Texas freshman died in 2005 after a binge drinking party. The family of Jack Phoummarath settled with the fraternity Lambda Phi Epsilon for $4.2 million. The party was part of the pledge process, and it resulted in acute alcohol poisoning.

Phoummarath’s blood content level was .50. The family has put the proceeds towards an educational video “Enough is Enough” which is featured on www.InMemoryOfJack.com. In addition, a scholarship fund will be established at the University of Texas for $8,000-10,000a year along with an educational program on hazing and binge drinking.
