Topeka officials have announced that all of the wreckage from the streets has been cleared. The intersection of 21st and Washburn is now open to through traffic as well as all of the other intersections. The soccer field and the Petro parking lot have not been completely cleared, but crews are working quickly to return the campus to normal. All classes previously held in Petro Allied Health have been relocated to other classrooms across campus. The electricity has been restored around Topeka.

A memorial fund has been established to assist families that were effected by the accident. Part of this fund will also help in the building of the permanent memorial to honor those that were lost in the accident. Donations to this fund can be sent to Washburn University, care of Petro Memorial Fund. The school is still taking donations for the rebuilding of Petro.

Animal control was able to safely catch all of the rats and opossums that escaped on campus. Luckily, nobody was injured by these animals. Animal control released the rats and opossums outside of Topeka city limits.

Everyone in attendance at the field hockey game have been accounted for. Those that were not injured reported to University Relations. All families have been notified of those that died or were injured in the crash. Washburn has encouraged everyone involved in the accident or that were on campus at the time of the crash to contact family members. If you are a family member and are not sure of the safety of your relative, please call the university phone number, 785-670-1010 extension 0000. Live operators will assist you.
