The three survivors of a crash that killed a young boy in Standish on Saturday are still battling serious injuries at Maine Medical Center, a hospital official said on Sunday.
Danilo Warrick, 75, and Vincent Oates, 51, are listed in serious condition. Oates’ wife, Kerry, is in critical condition – a greater level of danger.
The Oates family lost their 8-year-old son, Owen, in the three-vehicle crash. Friends and family are raising money to help, and as of Sunday afternoon a campaign on the website GoFundMe had already drawn over $32,000.
Owen Oates attended Edna Libby Elementary School in Standish. School officials on Saturday said they were shaken by his loss and were making plans to support community and family members.
