Pepperdine grieves the tragic car crash that claimed the life of Seaver student Sarah Brady Aug.26, during her return to campus for her junior year. The 20-year-old is a native of Littleton, Colo.
The Associated Press reports the student was driving west on Interstate 70, 10 miles east of Salina, Utah, just after 6 p.m. Friday when she lost control of her car.
She apparently swerved into the left-hand emergency lane while passing another vehicle, over-corrected and hit the other car, sending both vehicles off the road and into several rocks, according to Trooper Dan Altenes of the Utah Highway Patrol.
Brady is believed to have been killed instantly, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
The University asks the community to remember the student’s friends and parents, Carey and Mary Jane Brady, during their time of grief.
Throughout the day, students have acknowledged Brady by posting statuses on Facebook.
Junior Kristen Nassif’s status reads, “Sarah Brady, I loved you so much and I know you are in a better place now. You were such an amazing friend and such an amazing young woman. I will continue to think of you always and I hope you are surrounded by diamond point shoes where you are my love! I will miss you always and forever. Rest in peace.”
A prayer service will be held Monday morning at 8:30 a.m. in Stauffer Chapel.
The Dean of Students Office is accepting cards, notes and letters to forward to Brady’s family: Tyler Campus Center Suite 210, Mail Code 4472.
