A tragic accident occurred during a fifth-grade field trip at Lake Macbride, resulting in the death of an adult and the disappearance of a child. Emergency responders were deployed, and large-scale searches were conducted at both Lake Macbride and the Coralville Reservoir. The bodies of a teacher and a student were later recovered, identified by authorities, while searches continued for the missing child. The Iowa City Community School District has expressed its sorrow over the incident and temporarily paused its School of the Wild program to assess the situation.
