Family Needs Help For Funerals Of 4 Killed In Horrific Crash

RIVERHEAD, NY — The family of four victims killed in a horrific Valentine's Day crash are raising funds to lay their loved ones to rest.

A GoFundMe, "Laying Our Family To Rest," was posted on behalf of Gregory Booker.

"Our mother Jackie McCoy, sister MaryAlice Booker, brother Anthony McCoy and sister-n-law Tameka Foster were tragically killed," in the crash, the page says.

Jackie, the page says, leaves behind her oldest son and daughter; MaryAlice leaves behind a 17-year old daughter, and Anthony and Tameka leave behind a young daughter and son.

"MaryAlice and Anthony will need to be transported to Virginia to be laid to rest and our mother will be laid to rest here on Long Island," brokenhearted family members say.

All donations will be used for transport, funerals, and other related costs.

"Thank you in advance for all your thoughts and prayers and donations. We love you all," the page says.

The horrific crash in Ridge left family members devastated.

McCoy, 55, of Calverton, her daughter, Booker, 36, of Riverhead, her son McCoy, 33, and McCoy's friend, Foster, 42, were inside a 2012 Mazda that was struck by a stolen car on Middle Country Road on the morning of Feb. 14. The Mazda then struck another vehicle and went up in flames. All four people were pronounced dead at the scene.

Lonidell Skinner, a 19-year-old passenger in the stolen car, a 2018 Camaro, was also killed in the crash. The driver of an oil truck that was also involved in the crash was seriously injured.

The driver of the Camaro, 23-year-old Jamel Turner, of Bellport, was arrested and charged with third degree criminal possession of stolen property and false personation. He is expected to face upgraded charges.

Turner, a member of the Bloods gang, was driving the stolen car at over 100 mph when he triggered the crash, prosecutors said, according to a News 12 report.
