so the house that used to be across from the three way intersection between the Marriott Center and LES, was a property BYU had wanted to acquire for a long time. The owners wanted too much. One day a diabetic student drove his car through the light and into the house, at a high enough speed to basically total the house.

the owner then was willing to sell to BYU because BYU was paying the price before the house got wrecked, but the insurance was paying for the value of the house as well.
