Hundreds of mourners gathered Sunday evening at a Herndon church to remember three teenagers who died Friday in a collision on a Texas highway, according to media reports.

Trinity Presbyterian Church hosted the prayer vigil for 18-year-old Holly Novak and 19-year-olds Kyle Mathers and Dale Neibaur, WUSA-TV Channel 9 reported. All three were 2014 graduates of Herndon High School and members of the school’s marching band.

A rock at the high school has been painted in their honor, WJLA-TV channel 7 reported.

The three were on a road trip with two other teens to a video-gamiong convention in Austin, Texas, when their SUV was hit early Friday by a wrong-way driver on Interstate 30 east of Dallas, according to media reports. An 18-wheel tractor-trailer then struck both vehicles, setting them on fire.

The wrong-way driver also died in the crash. He was identified by Texas authorities as Kenneth G. Frazier, 78, of Royce City, Texas.

The other two teens in the crash were taken to a Dallas hospital, according to media reports. They were identified as Hannah Galbaith, 18, and Kevin DiCicco, 19.

The church has created a “Herndon Band Relief Fund” to help support the families of Holly, Kyle and Dale with expenses. For information on how to contribute, please click here.
