ASAM NEWS

A construction crane collapsed on top of a car killing passenger Sarah Wong, 19, a first year student at Seattle Pacific Union and three others, reports the Seattle Times.
A friend in the back of the car with Wong miraculously survived. The conditions of the driver is not known.

Two of the other people killed were workers involved in disassembling the crane. The third victim has not been identified, but is said to be a person in another vehicle.

According to KOMO News, Wong attended Faith Bible Church. Her pastor said Wong’s parents immediately flew up from Los Angeles after the news.

“Her parents joined us for service,” said Danny Cohen, a Youth Leader at Faith Bible Church. Cohen described Wong as outgoing and someone who enjoyed dance.

The Seattle Times said she had a passion for the environment and had explored a career in nursing. Just two weeks ago, she danced in a campus cultural showcase put on by a Pacific Islander student group which Wong was an active member.

“My initial thought was that this couldn’t actually be happening,” said a friend Lauren Tan. “She spread so much love, encouragement and kindness to everyone around her.”
