4 Pepperdine students killed in Malibu crash.
Tragic Crash Claims Lives of Four Pepperdine Students
In a devastating incident on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, four young women, believed to be students at Pepperdine’s Seaver College of Liberal Arts, lost their lives. The university made the heartbreaking announcement on October 18.
The crash occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the 21600 block of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities discovered the victims at the scene, along with several severely damaged vehicles. A 22-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident, although his identity remains unknown.
The investigation into the tragic collision, which claimed the lives of the four women who were walking in the area, led to the closure of PCH in both directions between Las Flores Canyon and Carbon Canyon roads. The closure lasted through the night and into the morning rush hour. However, the roadway was reopened shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

The victims have not been officially identified, but Pepperdine University confirmed that they were likely students at the liberal arts college. The university expressed its deep sorrow and pledged to support the families during this difficult time. They emphasized the importance of prioritizing health and well-being and offered spiritual and emotional assistance through their counseling center, pastoral care team, and student care team.
Reports from the scene indicated the possibility of a Pepperdine fraternity party in the area on Tuesday night. Sheriff’s officials were expected to provide updates on the investigation at a midday news conference.
Initial reports suggest that a black BMW traveling west on PCH struck multiple parked vehicles before colliding with the women who were walking or standing along the highway. Tragically, the four women lost their lives at the scene, while two others were taken to hospitals in unknown condition.
Multiple vehicles were involved in the incident, with video footage showing extensive damage, including a vehicle that was overturned. It remains unclear if the arrested driver sustained any injuries. However, speed is believed to have played a role in the crash, though it is uncertain if racing was involved.
Authorities urge anyone with information about the crash to contact the traffic investigations office at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station at 818-878-1808.
