A Northeastern student died in an early-morning car crash in upstate New York this morning, according to New York TV station WIVB.
Scott Herr, an 18-year-old freshman engineering major, died in the 1:15 a.m. crash in Elma, N.Y., which police believe was caused by ‘a mixture of snow and speed,’ according to WIVB.
Herr was ejected from the front seat during the crash. Three other teens were in the car at the time, including a 15-year-old girl who entered Erie County Medical Center’s Trauma Intensive Care Unit listed in critical condition, according to WIVB. The driver, 18-year-old Ashley Hill, and another girl were not seriously injured in the crash. Hill attends Northeasthern, according to Facebook, and was identified by WIVB as Herr’s girlfriend.
