A member of the Lafayette College football team died Thursday after being seriously injured in a car crash on Tuesday.
Brian Keller, 21, crashed into a series of trees after his car left the road and went over the side, according to an article on Lehighvalleylive.com. Keller, a senior tight end on the team, was expected to be a starter in 2015.
The crash occurred in Burlington County, New Jersey, at 6:03 a.m., according to the article.
A GoFundMe page was set up in his honor with a goal of raising $10,000. Since the page was created, it has exceeded that mark and has extended the goal to $15,000.
Since the crash, people have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #PrayersForKeller in his honor. Two former Lehigh football players, who both graduated this past spring, shared their thoughts on Twitter.
The Lehigh football Twitter account also gave their condolences.
