A van carrying a Temple University dance team to a competition in North Carolina crashed in southern Virginia early Saturday, killing one student and injuring seven others. Kammini Ragoopath of Lansdale, Pa., died after the van veered off Interstate 85 and hit a guardrail. "The loss of a member of our community is never easy, and the sudden death of one of our students is particularly heartbreaking," Temple President Ann Weaver Hart said. The Bhangra dance team, which performs traditional Indian dances, was traveling to Durham, N.C., for Saturday's competition.
