The family of a teen badly hurt in a car crash says they will set up an account to help with the boy's medical expenses.

Isaiah Gonzalaze, 15, is still in critical condition after he was involved in a crash Friday night that killed his two teenage friends.
Police say he was riding with Aubrey La Jonte Crofton,19, and Angelo Reyes, 14.

Officers say Crofton was driving a white Honda Accord, when he made a u-turn on Fairfax Road and an SUV slammed into them. Crofton and Reyes both died.

Gonzalaze will go to Children's Hospital Central California for open heart surgery.

"He has a slice in his liver, he has punctured lungs, broken ribs and his heart, he needs open heart surgery, his valve is torn," said Cynthia Delfin, Isaiah's mother.

"I hope he makes it and I know he is going to make it, I have faith in him, I have faith in God," said Bonnie Delfin, Isaiah's grandmother. 

Gonzalaze's mother says the boys were coming back from Magic Mountain when they were hit.

Family members are working on setting up an account at Kern Schools Federal Credit Union.

This is a really sad story. The boys at Six Flags having a fun filled day to come home to be killed by another careless driver. Why dont people just slow down and pay attention?? Driving is not a joke or fun, its a serious responsibility and now 2 boys are dead while one clings to life. So sad. My heart goes out to the family of these two young men. RIP

god I hate hearing these stories. Young men taken by a car crash with their entire lives just starting. I don't even know those guys but still get choked up. I can not fathom losing a "child", I don't think I could even cope. No words will lessen the families pain and grief, but I offer sincere condolences anyway, for what that's worth, which is nothing but the best I can do.
