    More than 75-thousand dollars has been raised for the survivors of the fatal van and truck crash, south of Picton


    Two Give a Little pages have been created - one by a Filipino community leader, and the other by one of the family member's employers.

    The funds will be used for ongoing medical bills for the two seriously injured survivors, and funeral costs.
