The identities of the four people who died in Sunday’s Ferrari crash in JLT, Dubai have been revealed. One of the deceased is American university student, Victoria McGrath,\u00a0who survived the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.<\/p>\n

Victoria McGrath died along with her roommate, Priscilla Perez Torres, both were on holiday in Dubai.\u00a0The two women\u00a0were\u00a0killed in the same crash as\u00a0Canadian boxer Cody Nixon, 24, and his cousin, James Protuondo, 27.<\/p>\n

They were all travelling\u00a0in the\u00a0Ferrari 458 Spider when it hit a pavement then\u00a0crashed into a lamppost\u00a0in the early hours of Sunday.<\/p>\n

Portuondo, McGrath and Torres died at the scene in Jumeirah Lakes Towers. Nixon died later in hospital.<\/p>\n

According to a witnesses, the car had been\u00a0travelling at around\u00a0140kph in a 60kph zone. <\/p>\n

Victoria\u00a0McGrath, 23, made headlines three years ago when she\u00a0received severe shrapnel injuries to her left leg from the first of two bombs placed near the Boston Marathon finish line on April 15, 2013. Pictures of her being carried from the scene by a firefighter became some of the most iconic images of the terror attack.<\/p>\n

McGrath, from Weston, Connecticut,\u00a0was scheduled to graduate this spring from Northeastern’s school of business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Torres, who was also scheduled to graduate this spring, went to Northeastern from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, and was passionate about travel and working on issues related to nutrition and women’s health.<\/p>\n

Our sincere condolences go out to the\u00a0families of all that died.<\/p>\n
