A Southern California university wrestling with the deaths of four seniors who were struck by a car sought to comfort students and faculty at a campus prayer service. The students at Pepperdine University’s Seaver College of Liberal Arts were remembered Thursday as “bright lights with promise and aspirations.
The entrance sign to Pepperdine University is seen Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023, in Malibu, Calif. The Los Angeles County Fire Department says four people died after a multicar crash on the Pacific Coast Highway Tuesday at about 8:30 p.m. Four people were pronounced dead at the scene. Pepperdine University says there “is reason to believe” the four killed were students from its Seaver College of Liberal Arts. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Provost Jay Brewster gave that description of the Pepperdine University’s Seaver College of Liberal Arts students and read each one of their names aloud: Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir and Deslyn Williams. The four were among at least six pedestrians authorities said were hit by a speeding BMW as they walked along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, only a few miles from the private Christian university.
“Keep loving each other through this tragedy,” said Tim Spivey, associate vice president for spiritual life at the school. “We are among God’s greatest gifts to each other.” The students were walking along the coastal highway at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday when the driver of a BMW lost control and sideswiped at least three parked vehicles before crashing into the girls and hitting two others, authorities said. The four women were pronounced dead at the scene and the two others were taken to a hospital with injuries.
Weir was from Philadelphia and studying English, while Rolston, from Los Angeles, and Stewart, from New York, were both studying business, according toThe 22-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. The crash is under investigation.
