SMITHFIELD – The family of 17 year-old Alan Lockamy has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for funeral expenses.
Alan was one of four teenagers killed in a single vehicle accident Monday morning on Interstate 95 at Brogden Road in Smithfield.
The GoFundMe Page states: January 22, 2024 we lost Alan in a single car crash. He was loved by his large family and numerous friends. Multiple friends and family have asked how they can help with final expenses. Family is thankful for any and all support that is shared.
Freddy Seras, Christopher Jackson and Semaj Williams also died in the single car accident. A separate fundraising page has been established by the family of Freddy Seras to pay for his funeral, which is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 26 at St. Ann’s Catholic Church.
Senseless tragedy that cost 4 lives, has broken 4 families, affected countless friends, horrified numerous first responders. My heart goes out to anyone who has been affected by this unbelievable event.
They better raise $$$ for the legal fees. They’re going to be taken to the cleaners.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Why should they be ashamed of themselves?
Because they were just woken up by the police to find out their child was dead and blaming them without knowing very much at all about the story is a sign of someone with issues of their own.
I suppose you were perfect as a teenager. I know that I wasn’t and it was but for the grace of God that none of us were harmed when I was growing up. Teens are not fully developed and yet we hand them the keys to cars and wonder why they make risky decisions.
There are only victims here. No malice, just kids being kids and getting the short straw.
Not all thoughts should become public comments. Please show some respect for this mourning family. They are well aware of the circumstances and do not need additional condemnation or sattire.
Perhaps if the family *had been aware* of what these minors were doing driving 100 MPH at 2:30am they wouldn’t be mourning now. #BeResponsible #Parents
Maybe they snuck out of the house. Teenagers tend to do sneaky things.
Spoken like someone who doesn’t have kids. Some families have four or five kids and three or four turn out perfect and one is the black sheep. Kids aren’t clay that you mold into what you want. And teens make foolish decisions and parents pray their kids don’t but can’t know it all.
I used to go to “the midnight movie” and then we went out partying late. They trusted me and I was a teen that didn’t follow the rules.
Compassion is such a better look than blamethrowing in a situation like this.
They were all so young, such a tragedy!
Truth! Sad story, kids are given so much responsibility at such a young age and we are saddened when they make serious mistakes like this. It is terrifying.
