Chauvet was a cheerleader. She was really a kid at heart.

According to the Gazette, Chauvet and friends were riding in a Honda Civic Sunday evening when the car made a left turn into the path of a Jaguar. Though the car had a green light, the Civic apparently did not yield to before turning onto the path, according to Logan Township Police Chief Ron Heller.
After the accident, the students then were taken to Altoona Regional Medical Center, where Chauvet was pronounced dead. One of Nicole Chauvet’s friends told the Gazette that the sophomore, also a cheerleader was intending to transfer to Penn State’s main campus to finish her bachelor’s degree at the time of her death.
The four other students were Chauvet’s roommates, according to a neighbor. One of the roommates is reportedly in a medically induced coma. The driver of the Jaguar reportedly sustained minor injuries.
