Actress Issa Rae Donates To Family Of Pregnant Woman Killed In Car Crash
Issa Rae Donates to Family of Pregnant Woman Killed in Fiery L.A. Crash
Issa Rae is showing her support, after a pregnant woman and 5 others died in a tragic car crash near her hometown ... donating money to help the woman's family in the wake of the devastating loss.
The family of 23-year-old Asherey Ryan set up a GoFundMe to raise $100K to help cover funeral expenses for the young mother. Not only was Asherey killed in the crash last week in Windsor Hills -- her 11-month-old son, Alonzo, and her unborn child also died -- the money raised will go toward their funeral expenses as well.
The family has received lots of support ... exceeding their goal by $50K. Issa Rae, who was raised in Inglewood, about 10 minutes from the crash site, is among those who have donated, chipping in $2,500.
Asherey was among 6 people who died in Thursday's fiery crash. Cops say 37-year-old Nicole Lorraine Linton was allegedly driving up to 100 mph, when she sped through a red light, slamming into several vehicles which ignited a massive blaze.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the horror of the accident.
Linton was arrested Friday, and has been charged with 6 counts of murder and 5 counts of gross vehicular manslaughter. If convicted, she faces 90 years to life behind bars.
