A student at West Chester University was hit and killed by a car on Sunday, according to a school official. 

The student was struck by a car on the 300 block of South High Street around 1:30 a.m. He later died at a nearby hospital, according to police. 

While police have not identified the pedestrian, his Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers at West Chester University say the victim was Garrett Nicholas, a 21-year-old junior. 

Jimmy Kane, Nicholas' roommate and the president of Pi Kappa Alpha, said he and Nicholas were part of a group of friends walking home from a bar when Nicholas was hit while crossing the street just blocks from campus.

"I was there right after the scene, and it's just a brutal thing to see," Kane said. Head to the link in our bio to read how people at the university are remembering Nicholas.
