Two Northeastern University students were tragically killed in a car accident in the United Arab Emirates.
One of the victims was Boston Marathon bombing survivor Victoria McGrath, whose legs were injured when she was hit by shrapnel in the April 15, 2013 attacks.
McGrath and classmate Priscilla Perez Torrez were in Dubai at the time of the crash.
Northeastern University released a statement Monday morning:
"Northeastern University has confirmed that two undergraduate students have been tragically killed in a car accident overseas. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Victoria McGrath and Priscilla Perez Torres in this extremely difficult time."
“People come up to me and tell me how terrible this is,” McGrath said at a fundraiser following the 2013 bombings. “And to an extent they are right, but we're only going to get stronger from this -- all of us.”
