A gift of more than $40,000 of corporate and individual donations from a local hospital will enable Georgia Southern University to fund future scholarships for nursing students in memory of five young women killed in a tragic car accident in April. Tuesday, East Georgia Regional Medical Center gifted the university with $41,670 for the university's School of Nursing Students' Memorial Fund, established in memory of the five nursing students who lost their lives in a vehicle crash on Interstate 16 near Savannah on April 22. The students were commuting to Savannah for their last day of clinical training of the school year when the crash occurred, which began when a tractor-trailer ran into traffic that was stopped while emergency crews were working to clear the road of an earlier collision.
