The Los Angeles Police Department announced Tuesday that a fund had been established to aid the Carson family that lost three children in a crash in Los Angeles last month.

Donations can be made to the Luna Family Foundation, Bank of America Account #2162566318. The fund was established by the Decron Properties Corporation, which employs the children's father, Ignacio Luna.

You can go to any Bank of America branch and make a donation with that account number or send a check to 9001 Lincoln Blvd., Westchester, CA 90045.

The crash occurred May 27 at Crenshaw Boulevard and Florence Avenue.

The three children -- two boys, Alexis Ayala, 4, and Carlos Luna, 12, and one girl, Tanya Ayala, 7 -- were killed when a speeding sport utility vehicle ran a red light and struck their van. Both vehicles exploded into flames.

The occupants of the other SUV died at the scene.

A private funeral service will be held for the children on Friday.
