VAN NUYS -- Two women with ties to Cal State University Northridge have been identified as victims of the Corvette crash in Van
Nuys that killed four people.
The body of 22 year old Kristin Marie Norris was found strapped in the wreckage of her Corvette, a coroner's investigator said late Friday.
The crash near Hayvenhurst Avenue was reported at 12:05 a.m. Thursday.
3 other people, two men and one woman, riding in the car were ejected in the accident, police said Friday night.
The other woman killed in the crash was identified late Friday as Danielle Wolf, 22, of Carlsbad, according to the coroner's office.
Wolf also had ties to CSUN.
The Daily Sundial, a CSUN student newspaper and website, reported that Wolf and Norris were CSUN students or alumna, and that both women were active in the Greek community at the school.
Wolf was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority, and Norris was a member of the Tri Delta sorority, the Daily Sundial reported.
The coroner's office identified the two men killed in the crash as Jorge Nunez Jr., 28, of Sylmar, and Jossue D. Colato, 23, of Pacoima.
There was no indication if the driver of the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette was racing, or another vehicle was involved, police said.
The car was traveling eastbound on Roscoe when it crashed into a metal guardrail and skidded across railroad tracks, coming to rest upside down, Los Angeles police Lt. John Romero said.
The Corvette came to rest about 400 yards past the initial point of impact, police said late Friday.
The Daily Sundial quoted an e-mail from the Wolf family:
"Our daughter, Danielle Wolf, loved her college years at CSUN, especially the time she spent in her sorority Alpha Phi, the friends she made, and the memories that she'll always have with her. We know that Danielle cherished each and every one of her CSUN friends and we thank you for supporting her during her college experience. . . .
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the other victims involved in this tragedy, and we will continue to support each other through this time of mutual loss."
Plans have begun for a service next week on campus for both Wolf and Norris, the Daily Sundial reported.
