COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The mother of the two children involved in Tuesday's deadly car crash works for the Cimarron Hills Fire Department as an administrative assistant.

The department has created a memorial fund for Lupita Morales. Lupita's daughter, 16-year-old Bethany, died in the crash. Her youngest daughter, 6-year-old Grace, was also in the car at the time.

She's reportedly in stable condition in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

The memorial fund has been set up at 1st Bank in Colorado Springs for the family's ongoing medical and memorial service expenses.

Any donations can be made in the names of the 'Morales Memorial Fund.'
