Ithaca College Student Dies In Car Crash On Trip Back To School After Thanksgiving Break

An Ithaca College student passed away this weekend in a car crash that occurred on his ride back to the Upstate New York school after Thanksgiving Break, the Associated Press reports.

Michael Clark - a 21-year-old IC junior - was driving back with three other students, all of whom sustained injuries in the crash.

According to the AP, police say the students lost control of their SUV Sunday night after the driver swerved to avoid a deer on the highway, causing the car to roll over several times.

Clark was originally from Boxborough, Massachusetts, and was studying English at IC.
