COLLEGE STATION, TX –– Texas A&M community is mourning the loss of one of their student athletes after a fatal crash claimed the life of 18-year-old Chance Gibson.
On Saturday morning, Gibson was on his way home to The Woodlands for the holiday break when he was involved in a motor vehicle crash.
The freshman cross country and track & field student-athlete has just completed his first semester at Texas A&M.
"Words cannot express the loss of Chance," said head coach Pat Henry. "Chance was a great young person with a bright future. He will be missed by everyone that came in contact with him. It is a sad day for Texas A&M, and our hearts are broken for his family and friends."
