Parents Of USC Student Sue Over Fatal Crash With Campus Cop

Ambition brought Kelsey Dresser to the University of Southern California, where the aspiring therapist from Carlsbad enrolled in graduate school. But the 23-year-old student’s goal to become a mental health counselor was cut short last December, when she turned her red convertible into the university’s South Los Angeles campus. A USC public safety officer’s patrol cruiser allegedly traveling at nearly three times the speed limit smashed into Dresser’s 1995 Chrysler LeBaron, pushing it about 40 feet. She died the following day.
