Hampshire County resident Michael Lap, of Northampton, died and two others were hospitalized in Western Massachusetts at approximately 3:20 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 21 following a single-vehicle crash in the Sumner Tunnel on the ramp to Storrow Drive Boston.
In response, a GoFundMe fundraising campaign was set up for the family, which garnered nearly $12,000 in donations from 245 people in the first few hours it was set up.
The money raised will go to cover funeral costs and bereavement time for Lap’s parents.
“Described by his friends as ‘always the first to help anyone, always made sure you had everything you needed. He constantly checked in every day on his friends even people he had just met,’” organizers wrote.
“Now it’s our turn to support Michael by rallying around his family and helping them in honoring him as he is laid to rest.”
