MALIBU, CALIFORNIA: Police arrested 22-year-old Fraser Bohm for a fatal car crash that killed four Pepperdine University students.

Bohm went out of control while driving his BMW and hit four women who were strolling alongside the Pacific Coast Highway.

The accident occurred around 8.30 pm on October 17 in the 21600 block of PCH, near La Costa Beach and east of the Malibu Pier.

Who are the victims Fraser Bohm hit?

The four young women killed are undergrad seniors from Pepperdine University.

The school identified the victims as Niamh Rolston,20, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams. All four were declared dead at the scene.

Two other victims are still hospitalized, and their condition remains unclear.

"To the students who loved, lived with, and were in community with the departed members of our Pepperdine family, my heart is broken with yours. I join you in your grief as we process this profound loss," said University President Jim Gash in a message to the Pepperdine community.

Fraser Bohm was speeding the car

In a news conference, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said that Bohm was speeding the car while driving westbound on the highway. Before crashing into the girls' group, the black-colored vehicle lost control and smashed into several parked vehicles.

According to witnesses, Bohm got out of his car unharmed, and several people tackled him to the ground.

LASD arrested Bohm on charges of vehicular manslaughter along with gross negligence, per the New York Post.

However, LASD released him within an hour due to insufficient evidence. A DUI investigation is still pending.

The Pacific Coast Highway is 'deadly'

Talking to KTLA 5, a local woman in the area said that the stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway where the fatal crash occurred is known as the "Dead Man's Curve."

A high number of accidents reportedly occur at this stretch, most of them involving speeding drivers.

"Every six months there's another accident," said the woman. "There was one three months ago, there was one four months ago, and they are all within these five to six houses."

LASD Captain Jennifer Seeto also shared similar concern, stating, "There are too many people on this stretch of highway that have been killed."

"We are working with the community … to make sure that people are educated about the dangers of PCH, and to slow down," said Seeto.
