In the beginning it sounded like they were on a field trip to the freeway, may consider revising. Other than that I thought it was great, very easy to follow and informative.
Good Job! I noticed you mention the professor’s name. I don't think reporters are allowed to give out personal information about the people involved. The family could sue the newspaper company for not having permission to give the name. It was very informative!
I really liked your story, you told us the facts in a very professional way. It also looked like your quotes were very professional also.
