A tragic incident occurred near a stadium during the World Cup, resulting in the death of a volunteer who was hit by a suspected drunk driver. The victim, Aaron Avery, lost his life after the driver crashed into him following his second shift at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Aaron, aged 22, sustained severe injuries, including critical brain trauma, and despite medical efforts, he passed away.
Aaron’s family, devastated by the loss of their caring son, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to cover end-of-life expenses, medical bills, and funeral costs. The fundraising goal is set at $20,000, with donations exceeding $11,000 already. Additionally, reports indicate that Aaron’s organs, including his heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, were donated, potentially saving up to eight lives.
Kim Hill, who launched the GoFundMe, expressed that Aaron was walking home from SoFi Stadium after volunteering at the FIFA Soccer World Cup 2026 when the tragic accident occurred. She highlighted the driver’s irresponsible actions that led to Aaron’s critical condition and eventual passing. The community is urged to support the family during this difficult time by contributing to the fund and spreading awareness of the campaign.
