Peiran "Joyce" Shi, 20, was originally from Shenzhen, China, according to the university in Ithaca, New York.
The 20-year-old woman fatally injured in Monday night's crash on Interstate 80 in Warren County was originally from China, and was a student at Cornell University.
Peiran "Joyce" Shi, a native of Shenzhen, was a student in the Ithaca, New York, school's College of Arts & Sciences, said Ryan Lombardi, vice president for student and campus life at Cornell.
Shi, who lived in Ithaca, was with two other Cornell students, both of whom were treated and released from an area hospital, Lombardi said in a statement.

The three were in a Mercedes-Benz that collided with another vehicle while headed west on I-80 approaching Exit 4 in Knowlton Township, according to New Jersey State Police.
A rear passenger, Shi was ejected when the Mercedes hit a tree about 9:30 p.m. at mile-marker 6.2, according to the Lehigh County Coroner's Office. The other two occupants were up front and escaped with minor injuries.
Shi was flown for treatment to St. Luke's University Hospital in Fountain Hill. She was pronounced dead there at 11:45 p.m. of multiple blunt-force injuries, and her death was ruled an accident.

Shi planned to major in physics and pursued many academic and extracurricular interests at Cornell, including foreign languages, electronic circuits and karate, according to Lombardi.
"On behalf of the university community, I extend our deepest condolences to Joyce's family and friends," Lombardi stated. "Please keep them in your thoughts as we mourn this tremendous loss to the Cornell community."
State police were continuing to investigate the crash and were not immediately identifying other people in the Mercedes or in the second vehicle, a Mitsubishi.
