California community mourns death of Western student Madeline Hurd

A San Ramon native studying at Western Washington University was killed in a solo-vehicle crash amid snowy conditions earlier this week while traveling to Mount Baker near the U.S.-Canada border.

Madeline "Maddie" Hurd, a 2015 California High School graduate and the daughter of San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education President Rachel Hurd, was in her senior year working toward a bachelor's degree in recreation at the university in northwestern Washington. She was 21 years old.
