Edelman declined to comment and Guilinger could not be reached for comment.
Kupchan said the three students were walking around 50 feet ahead of her when "out of nowhere," Magrizos' car swerved across the road and onto the sidewalk. One of the females hit flew across the windshield, Kupchan said.
Witnesses told officers no other cars were on the road at the time.
"From the distance I saw that there were bodies on the ground, but I couldn't comprehend that fast what happened," Kupchan said.
Mark Edwards '09, who was walking with Kupchan, ran ahead to check on the victims and asked someone in a house on the corner to call the police.
"It felt like 30 seconds," Kupchan said of waiting for the police to arrive. "Within a minute for sure we were surrounded by police cars and ambulances, and they had blocked off the street."
Officer Stephen Clarke, who filed the police report, said Magrizos appeared highly intoxicated and could not balance himself.
Magrizos told officers he is licensed to drive in his home country, Greece, though he could not locate the license in his 1992 Buick La Sabre.
Carlos Perez de los Cobos (GRAD), also an IBS student, was a passenger in the car. Perez told officers he and Magrizos had been to a party in Mod 10.
Students from Mod 10 refused to comment on Magrizos' state that night.
Magrizos told officers he had several shots and drinks that night, starting at 11 p.m.
Magrizos was placed in a holding cell at the Waltham police station and released at 11 a.m. that morning. His vehicle was impounded for 12 hours at White's Garage in Waltham.
Since that night, Kupchan said neither the court nor the police have contacted her.
