Death of Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor Linked to Alcohol

Victoria McGrath, who survived the Boston marathon bombing, and her roommate were drinking before getting into an accident that killed them both in Dubai, NBC News reported.

The yellow Ferrari 458 Spider that they were driving in with two other people mounted a curb, split in two and then "lit on fire" early Sunday, Dubai's chief traffic prosecutor Salah Bu Farousha Al Falasi said.

The car's four occupants were thrown from the two-seater vehicle during the crash, he added.

"All were drinking alcohol," Al Falasi told NBC News on Wednesday, adding that while police could not confirm the 562-horsepower Ferrari's exact speed "they were driving fast."
