Williams Student Dies in Skiing Accident

 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A Williams College student died Tuesday following a skiing accident at Jiminy Peak Ski Resort. 
 
 Alex Kemp, 19, of Lincroft, N.J., was pronounced dead at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, where he was taken after suffering head trauma at the Hancock ski resort on Monday, according to the Berkshire District Attorney's Office. 
 
Kemp had apparently gone over an embankment on the left side of the Cutter Trail when descending the mountain. The call was made to 911 dispatch at about 2:39 p.m. reporting a skier had sustained injuries on the slope. 
 
Jiminy Peak Ski Patrol was immediately dispatched to the scene. Northern Berkshire EMS arrived shortly thereafter to administer life-saving measures. The victim was transported to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield before being transferred to Baystate for further care.
 
There is no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved in the incident. The victim was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
 
The State Police Detective Unit assigned to the DA's Office is overseeing the investigation. Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort has cooperated throughout the investigation, according to authorities.
 
Kemp was a member of the college's cross country team and had graduated from Christian Brothers Academy in New Jersey last spring.
