A college student who survived serious injuries in the Boston Marathon bombing was killed in a car accident in Dubai at the weekend, a spokesman for Northeastern University said on Monday.

Victoria McGrath was killed on Sunday, along with another Northeastern student, Priscilla Perez Torres, the Boston school confirmed. McGrath and Torres were on a personal trip, and not studying abroad.

Northeastern president Joseph E Aoun sent a letter on Monday about the students’ death.

“She was devoted to helping others through leadership in student organizations and community service work,” Aoun said of McGrath.
