A Villanova University alumna visiting the area for the school's homecoming weekend was killed Saturday night when she was struck by a car, police said.
Ossola, a former president of Chi Omega sorority, was with her sister when she was struck by a 2008 silver Jeep Liberty about 11:20 p.m. in Bryn Mawr, Lower Merion. She was crossing Lancaster Avenue from the north side near Thomas when the eastbound Jeep hit her. According to police, Ossola was taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital with head injuries and died at 11:52 p.m.

The sudden, tragic wrongful death of a loved one, resulting from an accident caused by negligence, is the most devastating loss that an individual or family can endure. While no amount of money can replace a loved one, filing a wrongful death lawsuit may be the only way to get the restitution you deserve and help to deliver justice to the guilty party.
Since wrongful death is far and away the most serious of all accident personal injury situations, the victim's family may be entitled to a wide range of financial compensation: for medical bills; loss of financial support for survivors; pain and suffering prior to death; loss of services; loss of society, comfort, care and companionship; funeral expenses; and other compensation.
