Herrera was killed around 7:30 p.m. Thursday night in a deadly bus crash in Parsippany, according to authorities.

“Chancellor Kent Syverud and I extend our sincere condolences and sympathy to Brianna’s family, friends, sorority sisters, professors and all those who are mourning this loss,” Syracuse University Dean of Students Rob Hradsky said. “We join our campus community in keeping Brianna, her loved ones and all who knew her in our thoughts and prayers.” source

Three other victims are being treated at Morristown Medical Center, according to the hospital.

One is in critical condition and the other two are in serious condition.

Adirondack Trailways says it is not commenting on the crash at this time as an investigation is ongoing. The company has eight buses from Binghamton to New York City each day. Employees at the Binghamton bus station say some of those are actually operated by Greyhound.

A vigil will be held at Syracuse University at 7 p.m. Friday, reports WBNG.
