‘We will not be the same without them’: 3 crash victims remembered

The three young people killed in a car accident late last month on Madison’s west side were remembered for their sparkle, their hard work, their excellence and their quirky personalities during a UW-Madison memorial service Monday night.

About 40 people gathered in the Red Gym to pay their respects to the friends and families of Lindsey Plank, 23, Dan Myers, 22, and Rick Putze, 22, who died when the car they were in crashed into a tree on South Midvale Boulevard between Mineral Point Road and Regent Street Aug 27.
