Chapin rallies for train crash victims

Posted

The Chapin community came together Saturday to raise money for last week’s train crash victims.

3 people were injured when a train and car collided on Walter McCartha Road in Chapin, WISTV’s Jenna Cisneros reported.

State troopers are still investigating the crash.

While officials have yet to release the names those injured, social media posts have been circulating with “Pray for Aleigh, Pray for Gracen, Pray for Sophia.”

2 women who said they know the girls’ families sold signs with their names outside of Lake Murray Presbyterian Church Saturday morning.

“Sofia has come home and she is going through physical therapy,” Libby Smith, who helped with the fundraiser, said.

“Gracen is due to come out of the hospital sometime this weekend, but she, too, will go straight to physical therapy. The girls will not be back in school for quite some time.”

“Aleigh is responding really well, but she is still in the hospital and will probably have to go for physical therapy after she gets out, too.”

Smith said they sold about 50 signs for $20 each. She said all the proceeds will go directly to the girls’ families.

An account has been set up at First Citizens Bank for donations. Donate to AGS Aid Fund, PO Box 297 Ballentine, SC 29002.
