Locals raise thousands in donations for all 6 killed in Barrie car crash

Luke West, Curtis King, River Wells, Haley Marin, Jersey Mitchell and Jason O'Connor were found dead Sunday A group of women in Barrie is hoping to raise $60,000 for the six people killed in a car crash on a closed road in Barrie, Ont., last weekend.

Ripple of Kindness, with support from Barrie Mayor Jeff Lehman, has raised almost $9,000 for the families of Luke West, Curtis King, River Wells, Haley Marin, Jersey Mitchell and Jason O'Connor. All are believed to have been in their 20s. They were killed in a single-vehicle collision in the south end of Barrie, about an hour north of Toronto. "While this is beyond our usual scope to raise funds, we feel these are extenuating circumstances," the fundraiser reads.

"Our community has been shaken to the core, our flags are at half mast and six families are devastated at the loss of their loved ones. Let's come together as a community and show our support."

According to the fundraiser website, the group has established a committee with group members and a representative from each family to allocate the funds. Police are still investigating and haven't providing any other information. Lehman has previously urged residents not to speculate about the cause of the crash, calling it a "shocking and horrible tragedy."

But information circulating on social media has provided a glimpse into who the victims were.

Luke West was a lacrosse player and coach who played the sport almost his entire life, according to the Bombers Junior C Lacrosse Club.

"We love you, we miss you, and we are grateful for the time that we had with you," reads a shared Twitter statement from the club and the association.
