Cal State Northridge senior Danielle Wolf, 22, of Carlsbad died early Thursday morning (May 6, 2010) in what the LA Times described as a “grisly Corvette crash” in Van Nuys, California. The wreck also claimed the lives of three other passengers including the driver Kristin Norris, 22.
The yellow 2007 Chevy Corvette was traveling at high speeds when it hit a guard rail on Roscoe Boulevard shortly after midnight, said Officer Gregory Baek of the Los Angeles Police Department. The car skidded several hundred feet, crossed some railway tracks and came to rest upside down, he said. . . The bodies of two men and a woman were found scattered around the car, he said. It was not immediately clear whether they were passengers or pedestrians. . . . A fourth body, found pinned inside the vehicle, was believed to be that of the driver, Baek said. He could not say whether it was a man or a woman.
Southern California Public Radio says the names of those who died in the crash were released on Friday May 7, 2010. According to the Cal State Northridge Daily Sundial Wolf’s parents issued the following statement:
“Our daughter, Danielle Wolf, loved her college years at CSUN, especially the time she spent in her sorority Alpha Phi, the friends she made, and the memories that she’ll always have with her. We know that Danielle cherished each and every one of her CSUN friends and we thank you for supporting her during her college experience. . . “Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the other victims involved in this tragedy, and we will continue to support each other through this time of mutual loss. . . . We appreciate all the love, prayers and support that we’ve received from the CSUN community and Danielle’s surviving friends and we thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.”
Our thoughts are with the Wolf family.
