The four Pepperdine University students struck and killed on the side of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, on Tuesday are being remembered for their hard work and positivity. Vinita Weir — whose only daughter, Asha Weir, was killed, along with Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart and Deslyn Williams, when, authorities said, a 22-year-old driver lost control of his sedan — said Thursday that Pepperdine should be proud of the young women because they represented the school’s values impeccably.
” Stewart said his 21-year-old daughter, who was studying business, accomplished many feats almost entirely on her own, such as getting into her dream university and landing multiple internships during her time at Pepperdine, including working for TikTok in Austin, Texas. Peyton Stewart was also extremely close with her younger sister, Kathleen, her father said. The Stewarts were fortunate enough to travel throughout the world. Their destinations included Spain, Greece and France.
