A 29-year-old Chapman University cinematography student was killed in a dune buggy crash during a film shoot in Imperial Valley, California, on April 15.
Peng Wang, a third-year graduate student, was partially ejected from a 2022 Can-Am Maverick UTV in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area located in the southeast corner of California when the vehicle overturned while moving along the side of a sand dune.
“I’m absolutely heartbroken about this, like all of us at Chapman. This is an incredibly supportive and caring community, and we’ve all been devastated,” Stephen Galloway, dean of Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University, told KTLA.
