A 22-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a crash in Malibu killed four college students and injured two other people, officials said Wednesday.
The six pedestrians were struck around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday along Pacific Coast Highway about 4 miles east of Pepperdine University, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Pepperdine initially said on X, formerly Twitter, that officials believed those killed attended the university's Seaver College of Liberal Arts. Pepperdine's president, Jim Gash, later confirmed that the four killed were students. The school later identified the victims as Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir and Deslyn Williams, all seniors.
