BA cabin crew crash fundraiser hits £50,000 in less than a day

Generous well-wishers have raised more than £50,000 for the families of three members of British Airways cabin crew killed in a car crash on New Year’s Eve, and another seriously hurt in the collision.

 BA will cancel 629 short-haul round-trip flights from Heathrow until 29 October and 5,000 in its winter schedule

The crash, which took place near Heathrow airport just before midnight, involved a white Toyota Yaris and a dnata HGV.

More than £50,000 had been donated to a GoFundMe page set up on New Year’s Day (1 January) by another BA cabin crew member, Stephen Paul Crook, sparking hundreds of heartfelt tributes.

All the money raised will be distributed equally to each family affected and go towards bunches of flowers for the three British Airways cabin members’ funerals.

The fundraiser hit its £50,000 target less than 24 hours after it was set up.
