Car wash benefits accident victims

This from Whittier reporter Airan Scruby:

Locals organized a car wash Tuesday to help pay for the funerals of three of their own, killed in a car accident on the 4th of July.

The men who died left behind a large circle of friends in their teens and twenties, who said they wanted to help the families through a difficult time.

"Everybody looked out for everybody," Lisa Whitney, 23, said of the mens' families and friends.

William Bradley of Whittier, Nathan Pollard of La Mirada and Jerry Luzzi of La Habra, all 21 were in Alaska for seasonal work at a lodge.

The three men were on an Alaskan highway in Bradley's red 2003 Infiniti when the car rolled several times, ejecting all those in the car from the car.

Two Michigan men, also in the car, survived the crash.
