Following the death of a Chapman University cinematography student, who was killed April 15 in a dune buggy accident in the Imperial County desert during a University of Southern California (USC) student film project, officials said the students did not follow safety protocols.

Peng Wang, a third-year graduate student, was partially ejected from a 2022 dune buggy in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area located in the southeast corner of California when the vehicle overturned while driving along the side of a sand dune.
