A Nigerian student Uchechukwu Chukwuma who was about to graduate from law school in the United States was killed on Friday in a car crash in Woodbridge area of New Jersey, leaving her community devastated.

Uche, as she was fondly called, died with her friends Brianna Martinez, who was studying to become a teacher, and Michaela Powell, who was set to graduate from Montclair State University.

NJ Advance Media reported that the trio’s plans for the future were cut short Friday night in Woodbridge, when Martinez’s 2012 Nissan Altima rear-ended a tractor-trailer stopped at an intersection on Route 1 north, killing all three Franklin women.
