AN appeal launched by friends and family of the brother and sister killed in a car accident last weekend has raised more than £2,000 in the last two days.

Former Archway School student Jinny-Mae Cook, 18, and father-of-one Bobby Roberts, 28, died in a collision with another car on the Ebley bypass on Saturday.

A donation page was launched on Tuesday night to help pay for funeral costs and as of 12 noon today £2,397 has already been raised.

The SNJ has also asked for readers to bring in donations to the office and so far we have collected £165 for the appeal.

Please keep your donations coming in.
