    Christian until death bade her relinquish her
    claim on life.

    a faithful wife, an ardent housekeeper and a loving

    killed in

    coping with tragedy
    By Mima Alfonso
    LAS VEGAS SUN
    A 16-year-old Green Valley
    High School soccer player was
    killed when his car collided with

    We just wish we
    could have said
    goodbye.

    SEE STUDENT. 4A
    a fuel truck in southeast Las
    Vegas.
    “He had everything going
    for him,” classmate and friend
    Danielle Carter said Monday
    through her tears at the scene.
    Michael Hoggard, a straight
    A student and a fullback on
    the soccer team, died at the
    scene of the 1:45 p.m. accident
    when he lost control of his
    northbound dark blue Mustang
    and slammed into a southbound
    Rebel Oil Co. tanker on
    i Mountain Vista Street, Metro
    Police Sgt. Steve Tuggle said.
    Police said Hoggard, whose
    seat belt had to be cut away,
    died on impact, his car crushed
    beneath the tanker’s front
    wheels and his body trapped
    in the wreckage.
    The youth had just left school
    and was weaving in and out of
    traffic above the 45 mph speed
    limit when the Mustang crested
    the hill at Patrick Lane and flew
    over the median sideways into
    the truck, Tuggle said.
    Police closed the road for
    about two blocks and called
    a county hazardous materials
    unit to clean up oil spilled from
    the car.
    The truck driver, who would
    not provide his name as he
    stood near the wreck with a
    stricken look on his face, was
    not injured, authorities said.
    Hoggard was a popular youth
    who was called “a pleasure to
    be around” by his soccer coach,
    Vince Hart.
    “He would do anything,
    could play any position. He was
    an all-American kid for sure,”
    said Hart, who said he learned
    of the accident from another
    athlete’s parent while on the
    school’s practice field.
    Several of the youth’s
    friends, who came upon the
    accident just seconds after it
    occurred, huddled together at
    i the scene, hugging and crying.
