Provo police confirmed the identity of the BYU student killed in a car crash Tuesday.

The Provo Police Department released this information via Twitter this morning. The crash is still being investigated, but it is believed inclement weather was a factor in the accident. Officials say it is too early to determine if speed or alcohol were involved.
