Clark Atlanta student Morgan Gamble killed in high-speed crash

Morgan Gamble, a 21-year-old senior at Clark Atlanta University, was killed in a car crash in Atlanta on Tuesday night. Gamble, a Mass Media Arts student who had worked as a student assistant and appeared briefly in the Netflix revival of ‘A Different World’, was driving her Mazda CX-5 on Hank Aaron Drive when she was struck by a Lexus.

Police report that the driver of the Lexus, Nikolai Dunford, was traveling at approximately 94 mph in a 35 mph zone at the time of the collision. Dunford was arrested at the scene and faces charges of first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and speeding.

Gamble was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. The university has responded to the tragedy by providing counseling services and emotional support to students and staff during the campus's homecoming week.
