Nursing Student Killed in Car Crash

A Curry College nursing student was killed in a Saturday morning crash on Bolivar Street in Canton.

The person has been identified as 20-year-old Evan Bard by Curry College, where she was a junior studying nursing.

The Canton Police Department has refused to release any information about the crash, but CBS Boston reported the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office says Bard was a passenger in a car that slammed into a wall and tree shortly after midnight.

Curry College posted a statement about Bard's death on its Facebook page:

Curry College is deeply saddened by the loss of one of our students, Evan Bard, a nursing major in the Class of 2014, who passed away early this morning in a car accident in Canton. Evan was a resident of the Suites, and a member of the cheerleading team.

The Curry College community sends our thoughts and prayers to Evan’s family and friends. Our hearts go out to them at this difficult time.

Saturday marked the end of the spring semester at Curry, but the school is offering counseling support for those who need it.
