Cole Torres died alongside friends Rebekah Cabral-Gonzalez, 21, Jason Potter, 19, and Nevaeh Harper, 20, in the tragic Sept. 4 wreck.<\/p>\n

Six people were traveling in a 2016 Hyundai Veloster when the vehicle veered off Highway 2 and slammed into a utility pole around 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 4, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

Two other victims were hospitalized. Officials said none of the passengers were wearing seatbelts and that alcohol was a \u201ccontributing factor\u201d in the crash. Five of the six passengers were ejected from the vehicle.<\/p>\n

A friend of Torres\u2019 mother, Jillian LeAnn Torres, launched a GoFundMe saying \u201cthe pain is still so fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, Jillian is in a state of shock and trying to process something no parent should ever have to face,\u201d the fundraiser said.<\/p>\n

Cole had just found out he was going to be an uncle when the crash occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer son had just learned at a gender reveal that he was going to be an uncle to a baby girl, which makes this loss feel even more devastating for everyone who loved him,\u201d the fundraiser added. <\/p>\n

Potter was remembered as an \u201cincredibly talented snowboarder\u201d who brought energy and joy wherever he went.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis infectious energy, his passion, and the way he connected with people made him someone who was deeply loved by his family, his friends, and so many in our community,\u201d the fundraiser read.<\/p>\n

Harper was described as a \u201cbeautiful daughter\u201d whose death had shaken hundreds of people who knew and loved her.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Cabral-Gonzalez was remembered as \u201cbright light, a free spirit with an incredible zest for life, a kind heart, and a genuine love for the outdoors.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of the victims were from Wrightwood, a small mountain community in San Bernardino County.<\/p>\n
