A student from Vietnam, Linh Hong Nguyen, died when a car mounted a sidewalk in Red Hook, NY, as she walked home from receiving her master’s degree at Bard College.

Her tragic death was confirmed by Bard president Leon Botstein.

Linh, 25, was from Hanoi. She was about to begin a doctoral degree at Stony Brook University.

UPDATE: Terrence Wilson writes:

Linh Hong Nguyen was my piano student at Bard College Conservatory of Music.
This past Saturday evening, May 25th, as she was walking to her home in Red Hook, NY after receiving her Master of Music in Instrumental Studies, she was suddenly struck and killed by a vehicle which veered upon the sidewalk where she was walking.
My pain and anguish over losing Linh to this horrific event is excruciating. I can only imagine what her family in Vietnam is going through.
Please consider a donation to help Linh’s family during this tragic time. A GoFundMe has been established for this.
