Erie PA News and Events for Mother's Day, Sunday May 11, 2008

One of those worst nightmare accidents happened yesterday afternoon on I-90 near West Springfield, Exit 3, when six people died in a horrible head-on accident. A van traveling east lost control, crossed the grass median, and slammed into a car traveling west. Five people in the van and one person in the car died. One person in each vehicle survived and were taken to Hamot. Buckle up people. None of the victims wore seat belts and the two survivors were wearing seat belts. Due to the threat of inclement weather, today's Allegheny College Commencement ceremony will be held indoors, in the Wise Center Sports Forum. Tickets are required for admission to the ceremony. Closed circuit television viewing in Shafer Auditorium is available to guests with children and those not holding tickets.

A reception in the Campus Center will follow the ceremony. The Commencement ceremony at 10 am will honor 554 graduates - thought to be the largest class in the college's history - and feature an address by Allegheny president Richard J Cook.
