The Neville-Lake family lost three children and their grandfather in a horrific crash Sunday in Vaughan. The public has responded in kind to an online fundraiser, helping the family with costs.

Daniel, 9, Harry, 5, little sister Milly, 2 were killed, along with Gary Neville, 65, of King.
Police are still seeking witnesses in the collision that occurred at the intersection of Kirby Road and Kipling Avenue in Vaughan.
They were called to the scene at 4:10 p.m. and all occupants of the mini-van suffered injuries. Two adult females of the same family were removed from the same vehicle and taken to hospital with serious injuries, where they remain. Their condition has improved to stable and they are expected to recover.
Two occupants in a third vehicle involved were not injured.
