TRENTON, N.J. (AP) _ A Rider University student has died from injuries in a car crash Friday, adding another loss to a campus already touched by tragedy.
Nicholas Costa, 21, who lived in Hamilton, died Sunday, two days after a crash on Route 130 in his hometown.
The car\’s driver, James Vandewater IV, a Johnson & Wales University student, had already died. Two other passengers in the car were injured, but less seriously.
The death means another loss at Rider, a liberal arts school with about 5,800 in Lawrenceville.
Last month, one student at the university\’s Westminster Choir College died of a heroin overdose. Another was charged with that death.
Last month, David Rebovich, a political science professor who was one of the state\’s most quoted political analysts, had a heart attack while teaching a class and later died.
Last March, a student died of alcohol poisoning in a case that received wide attention because three students and two university administrators were charged with hazing. Charges were dropped against the administrators in August. In September, two of the students enrolled in a pretrial intervention program that could keep their records clean and allow them to avoid time in jail.
