Mourners gathered Sunday to honor the lives of the four Pepperdine University students who were killed in a violent crash on Pacific Coast Highway.
The university urged students in need of support to contact the school's Counseling Center at 310-506-4210, with counselors available around the clock.The Pepperdine students were killed Oct. 17 after a driver lost control of their vehicle on Pacific Coast Highway, striking other cars that then struck the women.
Sheriff's officials said a driver who was apparently speeding lost control while driving a dark-colored sedan westbound on PCH, swerving onto the north shoulder and slamming into three parked vehicles. Those vehicles then struck the four women, all of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.The driver, Fraser Michael Bohm, 22, of Malibu, suffered minor injuries in the crash. He was booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.
Another student, Bridget Thompson, called Asha"My guidance and my strength. She was everything I wanted to be. Confident, gentle and kind. Last week, Asha brought me back my favorite flowers simply because she knew I'd enjoy them." Senior Coco Crandall said, ''Peyton's kindness illuminated every room she walked into.'' Of the four deceased students, she said,"I should have been with them. That was the one time I wasn't" and"They deserved so much better than what this earth has to give. I love you, my four angels. Thank you for bettering me."
