There have been several news stories and articles about the accident Saturday night, but those of you outside of Utah may not have seen them. Here are a few of the links that will give you a better idea of what happened.
Here is a link to the most thorough article I've seen, although it's tough to say how accurate it is and how Mary and her friends fit into the mix:

Two news reports from KSL News:

It's hard to imagine, knowing the tragic results, how they could have possibly thought this was a good idea. But be honest - who hasn't done something careless or risky, that just didn't turn out so badly? Maybe not with fire, but we have all pushed the limits and have gotten lucky. So there's no sense in our vilifying the people in this case either. It just does no good, and certainly won't help Mary's recovery. We definitely hope that this "activity" that is popular among college students will end before somebody else is hurt. Of those that were injured in Saturday night's accident, Mary was the most severely injured. But Kyle, Mary's boyfriend, was also burned quite badly on his hands. A few other friends and students were released from the hospital on Monday from their injuries, while one or two remain in the burn unit. We wish them all a quick recovery as well.
