Vanessa Mark was killed as a Brandeis University student in a bus crash that injured 26 others

A student at Brandeis University was identified Sunday as the person killed in a shuttle bus crash near the college that injured 26 other students.

Vanessa Mark, 25, died after the bus taking the group back to campus from a hockey game at Northeastern University crashed into a tree Saturday night and rolled over several times, the Waltham Police Department said.

“While Vanessa is currently on leave, she resides in Waltham and has been an active and valued member of the Brandeis community,” University President Ron Liebowitz said in a letter to the school community.

Brandeis canceled classes for Monday and Tuesday to allow students to process the incident with loved ones before Thanksgiving.

Additional support for students staying on campus will be made available throughout the week, the university said.

Officials have not disclosed what caused the Waltham bus crash or the severity of the injuries sustained.

Police have identified Vanessa Mark as the Brandeis University student who was killed in a shuttle bus accident near the college on November 19, 2022.
