A freak accident on a Georgia freeway has claimed the life of a second student from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

Authorities said 23-year-old Jason Schluter of Lyndon Station died Tuesday at the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon. He was driving a minivan that was hit by a tire that flew off of a semitrailer truck late Friday night as he and other students headed south through Georgia on a spring break trip to Florida.
