CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA – The coach of the Seton Hill University women’s lacrosse team and the bus driver were the two people killed Saturday when the bus they were on veered off the highway and crashed into a tree in southern Pennsylvania, authorities said.

Kristina Quigley, 30, who was six months pregnant, died from injuries at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, according to the Cumberland County Department of Public Safety.

“Her unborn child did not survive,” the county agency said.

The bus driver, Anthony Guaetta, was also pronounced dead at the scene.

The bus was carrying 23 people, who were players or associated with team when it veered off the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The bus struck a guard rail, traveled through the grass then struck a tree according to the Pennsylvania State Police.

Seton Hill is a Catholic university in Greensburg, outside Pittsburgh. It was founded by the Sisters of Charity in 1885.
