In a devastating incident that has shaken the Pepperdine University community, a speeding driver has caused a fatal crash, resulting in the tragic loss of four sorority sisters. The driver, identified as Bohm, allegedly exceeded the speed limit, reaching a staggering 104 mph in a 45 mph zone, before the collision occurred.
The victims, Deslyn Williams, Asha Weir, Peyton Stewart, and Niamh Rolston, were all members of the university's Seaver College of Liberal Arts and were set to graduate next spring. Their lives were cut short in the horrifying crash, sending shockwaves through the campus.
According to authorities, if Bohm is found guilty of his reckless actions, he could face multiple life sentences. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has initiated an investigation into the incident, with the aim of bringing justice to those affected by this senseless tragedy.
While the details surrounding the crash are still being examined, Bohm's attorney has argued that his client was not driving at such a high speed. The defense claims that Bohm was involved in a road rage incident, where another vehicle, driven by an unidentified individual, was allegedly chasing him. Bohm's attorney contends that this pursuit caused him to hit the brakes, leading to the accident.
However, authorities have refuted these claims, stating that they found no evidence supporting the existence of a second vehicle. The investigation is ongoing, and the truth behind the events that unfolded on that fateful day will be uncovered.
Pepperdine University, along with the entire community, mourns the loss of Deslyn Williams, Asha Weir, Peyton Stewart, and Niamh Rolston. In a statement, District Attorney George Gascón expressed his condolences, calling the incident a "senseless act" and expressing his support for the bereaved families.
The university has also announced that the four victims will be posthumously awarded degrees alongside their graduating class of 2024, honoring their academic achievements and the bright futures they were poised to embrace.
President Jim Gash, deeply saddened by the tragedy, shared his sympathies for the families affected and assured them that they are not alone during this trying time. The close-knit Pepperdine community stands united and offers support to those grappling with unimaginable grief and sorrow.
As the investigation continues and justice is sought for the victims and their families, the memory of Deslyn Williams, Asha Weir, Peyton Stewart, and Niamh Rolston will forever be cherished at Pepperdine University, their lives serving as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
