A 21-year-old Netflix actress has died following a car collision in which another vehicle was allegedly travelling at 94mph in a 35mph zone.
Morgan Gamble, a student at Clark Atlanta University studying television, film and radio, previously appeared in the Netflix reboot of A Different World. Her car was struck by another vehicle, and she was found at the scene in critical condition. The other driver has reportedly been charged with reckless driving, speeding and first-degree vehicular homicide.
Investigation ongoing
Both Morgan and the other driver were taken to hospital. The investigation is still ongoing, and online tributes have poured in from fans and those who knew her.
Showrunner Felicia Pride honoured Morgan with a statement: "So very sorry and sad to hear about the passing of Morgan Gamble, who in addition to being a superstar student at Clark Atlanta, was also a background performer on A DIFFERENT WORLD."
"We were grateful to have her be a part. Sending all of her loved ones and the CAU community love, light, and prayers."
Tributes from fans and friends
On Facebook, one user wrote: "This is so hard to read! I pray for peace and strength for her parents and loved ones. Rest well Morgan."
Another said: "May this young and beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. Such an unfortunate tragedy. Atlanta has to do something about this racing at high speed all day and night on our roads," reports the Express.
A third person wrote: "My deepest condolences to the family and friends of those affected by this devastating loss."
Someone else added: "This is such a tremendous loss to CAU class of 2027. Morgan was my daughter's freshman roommate, friend, and they shared the same major."
