A GoFundMe page with a $50,000 goal has been created for Christopher Foley, who died when a train carrying GOP lawmakers to their retreat in West Virginia collided with a garbage truck Wednesday.
The 28-year-old Louisa County, Virginia, resident is survived by his wife and their 1-year-old son, The Washington Post reported.
The fund would cover funeral costs and family living costs.
