Morgan State University is mourning a student
following a Thursday night crash in Prince Georges
County. Maryland State Police say that around 10:30pm
that night, officers arrived at the scene of a fatal
head-on collision that claimed the life of 20-year-
old Adedire “Dire” Ososanya. State troopers at the scene confirmed that both
vehicles were driving in opposite directions in the
same area before the driver of a Cadillac DeVille
lost control and collided with Ososanya’s Nissan
Altima.

Ososanya attended Morgan State, the university
confirmed.
On Friday, as many students were preparing to
listen to commencement speeches and receive
their diplomas, others were finding out about the
loss of a fellow student. The university issued the following statement in
the wake of the tragedy, “On a day when so many
of our students are celebrating their graduation
and the start of a new chapter in their lives, we at
Morgan State University find ourselves in a state of
shock, saddened by the loss of this member of our family. “Adedire was well liked by his fellow students,
who elected him as Mr. Junior (class). He was a
marketing major here at Morgan and a member of
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. He had, in fact, completed
nearly all of his coursework toward graduation
and for his life to be cut short when he was so close to achieving that which he had worked so
hard for is heart-wrenching.

“The entire Morgan family sends its condolences to
Adedire’s family. His loss will be felt in every corner
of this campus,” the statement added. Ososanya, who was known to many as Dire, was a
student leader and highly involved with different
campus organizations. Daniel Olumese met Dire in high school and told
ABC2 they have been best friends ever since.
Daniel, also a student at MSU, was one of a crowd
of about 200 gathered in the academic quad to
remember Dire Friday night.

“I’m not going to lie. I don’t really like it. I don’t like
it a bit, because this isn’t fair. I see pictures of him
with wings on his back and I’m like this isn’t how
it’s supposed to be. We had plans. All of us had
plans. We were supposed to go places. We were
supposed to do things,” Olumese said. Students took to social media Friday to recount
their memories of the young man.
