The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

A shuttle bus in Waltham taking 27 Brandeis University students from a hockey game at Northeastern University crashed last night, killing 1 person and leaving others with “varying degrees” of injuries according to officials. 

The shuttle bus crashed into a tree on South Street at 10:32 p.m. Saturday, according to officials. One student was pronounced dead at the scene. The other students and driver were all taken to hospitals in the area to treat their injuries. 

The identity of the student who died has not been released according to reporting by The Boston Globe. 

“Brandeis has notified students, faculty, and staff of the accident; we are providing counseling and support to students and will continue to do so over the coming days,” Julie Jette, a Brandeis spokesperson, said to The Boston Globe via email. 

The cause of the crash is still under investigation by Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Waltham police, and the Massachusetts State Police, according to a statement.
