A GoFundMe has been launched for the family of an East Bay basketball star and his sister, two of three people tragically killed in a car crash early Tuesday in California's Central Valley.
Oscar Frayer and his sister Andrea Moore-Frayer died in the fiery wreck along I-5 at about 2:30 a.m. near Lodi. Frayer, a 23-yer-old senior, had just started for Grand Canyon University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament only three days before the crash. The Oakland native had previously been a can't-miss player at Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward.
Moore-Frayer, 28, was a mother of four children, according to the GoFundMe.
"Many of you have reached out and asked how you can help during this time," the page said. "Please know that your kindness is appreciated as we navigate this heartbreaking tragedy. We ask, if you are able, to donate funds to help support the family with funeral service costs and the family's final wishes."
The two, along with a third unidentified person, were killed when their SUV veered off the road and smashed into the back of a patrol car, the California Highway Patrol said. The SUV then hit a tree and burst into flames.
The officers were assisting another driver at the time of the crash.
It’s not clear if drugs and alcohol were factors in the wreck, officials said.
"O. You had an unbelievable ability to light up a whole gym with your smile," Grand Canyon men's basketball head coach Bryce Drew said in a statement posted to Twitter. "I am so thankful I was able to coach you and spend this year with you."
