PHOENIX (HawaiiNewsNow) - A 19-year-old Kula woman was among three college students killed in a four-vehicle crash in Arizona on Monday morning, officials said.

Hunter Balberdi and two classmates at Grand Canyon University died when a vehicle going the wrong way hit their car and two other vehicles on I-17, north of Phoenix.

The crash happened just before 4 a.m.

All three women killed were freshmen and lived in the same residence hall.

Balberdi was a pre-med student studying biology.

Investigators are trying to determine if impairment was a factor in the crash.
