Former Penn State Player Kyle Vasey Hospitalized After Violent Hit-and-Run in Colorado

A tragic crash that claimed the life of his fiancée and left him fighting for recovery

On the morning of June 8, a quiet suburban street in Colorado became the scene of a shocking act of violence. Kyle Vasey, a former Penn State football player, and his fiancée Corinne More were walking when a vehicle driven by Adam Bauserman accelerated toward them, striking both with brutal force.

Witnesses later followed the driver for more than five miles before he pulled into Daniels Park, where officers took him into custody. Police say Bauserman, who was operating the car with a suspended license after a prior DUI, appeared unusually quiet after the crash and reportedly asked officers whether he had "killed the man."

The Aftermath

The collision left Vasey with three spine fractures and four broken ribs, injuries that required six surgeries and left him dependent on a ventilator while sedated to control pain. Tragically, Corinne More did not survive, and a 72‑year‑old bystander, Dianne Windes, also perished in the wreckage.

Vasey’s parents have launched a GoFundMe campaign that, as of June 9, has raised over $31,000 of its $40,000 goal to cover his medical expenses. They remain hopeful about his physical recovery, though they acknowledge the road ahead will be long and uncertain.

Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly described the scene as "horrific," emphasizing that the driver appeared to act without any prior relationship to the victims. Bauserman now faces seven felony charges, including vehicular homicide and vehicular assault, along with a $100,000 bond.

The incident has reverberated through the local community and beyond, prompting tributes to the victims and calls for stricter enforcement of license suspensions. Penn State alumni and fans have rallied around the Vasey family, highlighting the broader impact of such senseless acts on the sports community.
