LIVERMORE, CA — A Livermore woman is fighting for her life after a tragic collision sent her to the hospital with brain trauma, a fractured pelvis and multiple broken bones. Alexys 'Lexy' Garcia, 25, who was ejected when the SUV she was riding in left the road and rolled several times, remains in a medically-induced coma at Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley. Garcia’s grief-stricken family has been by her bedside since it happened and is hoping for a miracle.

"Our biggest prayer is that her swelling stops," the family told Patch.

Garcia's family said she was friends with the the driver, 26-year-old Lauren Davis of Livermore.

Violet Campbell, 16, who attended Village High School in Pleasanton, was killed in the collision. Her funeral is scheduled for for Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. at St. Augustine's Church in Pleasanton, according to Campbell's family.

Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene. Garcia was found critically injured near the crash scene. Davis, who suffered minor injuries during the crash, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and felony DUI causing injury/death, CHP officials said.
