The Penn State football family is reeling after a devastating hit-and-run in Colorado left former Nittany Lions long snapper Kyle Vasey with severe injuries and claimed the life of his fiancée, Corinne More.
According to CBS News, 28-year-old Adam Bauserman allegedly plowed his pickup truck into three people on a sidewalk, striking Vasey, More, and 72-year-old Dianne Windes. More and Windes died from their injuries. Vasey suffered multiple fractures, including three broken vertebrae in his spine and four cracked ribs. His left arm was the only limb spared. He has undergone six surgeries, remains on a ventilator, and is sedated for pain management. Doctors are optimistic he will recover physically, but the road ahead is long.
Authorities say Bauserman was driving with a revoked license due to a prior DUI in 2025. After the crash, he stopped to inspect the damage, then fled the scene. He was later apprehended and now faces charges including vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident involving death.
Vasey’s parents, Bruce and Shelley, launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover the mounting medical costs. Within hours, more than $26,000 poured in. “Kyle was the victim of a terrible accident while out walking with his fiancée,” the page reads. “His beautiful fiancée did not survive.”
Vasey, a Wallenpaupack High School graduate, played for Penn State from 2014 to 2018 as a long snapper. In his senior season, he earned the John Bruno Memorial Award, given to the outstanding member of special teams. The football community in Happy Valley has rallied around him, with fans expressing shock and sorrow on social media. “This is very tragic,” one fan wrote. “Did they find the driver? This is so sad and unnecessary,” another added.
The tragedy has also reignited discussions about accountability in college sports, as the Nittany Lions community mourns one of their own. Some have drawn parallels to the recent loss of Auburn legend Paul Ellen, underscoring how sports families come together in times of crisis.
As Vasey fights to recover, his parents remain hopeful. “He can use PSU to rally around him,” sportswriter Donnie Collins tweeted. The GoFundMe continues to accept donations. Our thoughts are with Kyle Vasey and all those affected by this senseless act.
