BYRON — A GoFundMe page for accident victim Jose Antonio “Tony” Leon, 22, of Byron has raised more than $11,000 this week.
Leon was killed in a three-car crash late Saturday in the 200 block of Delta Road, just east of Main Street shortly before 11:30 p.m. Another person was also injured.
Leon, a Liberty High School graduate and the eldest son in his family, passed away just four days short of his 23rd birthday, according to family friend and GoFundMe organizer Jimena Hernandez.
CHP officers said their initial investigation showed that an Infiniti sedan hit a Ford pickup truck before slamming into a parked Dodge sedan on Delta Road. Leon was the driver of the Infiniti, authorities said.
The GoFundMe proceeds will go to the Leon family for funeral and expenses. See https://www.gofundme.com/f/tony-leon-memorial-fund
