Luis Gamillo and his brother Erik Gamillo Caldaza.

Two brothers were among the four teenagers killed in a car crash in Wisconsin over Memorial Day weekend.

The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office announced in a press release on Facebook that its agency was called to a fatal car crash on State Highway 16/60 at the intersection with County Road TT in Elba at approximately 4 a.m. local time on Monday, May 27.

“Initial investigation revealed that a 2000 Ford F150 was traveling north on County Highway TT when it failed to stop at the County Highway TT stop sign at the corner of State Highway 16 and 60,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.

At that point, authorities said, a 2017 Western Star Semi without a trailer collided with the eastbound Ford F150.

Three teens were pronounced dead at the scene and another died in hospital, police said. The victims include 19-year-old driver Luis Gamillo and his 17-year-old brother Erik Gamillo Calzada. Alix Hernandez, 18, and Ivan Herrera, 16, were also identified as victims.

“My cousins ​​​​were responsible, caring and the funniest souls in the world,” said the organizer. “They were loved by the people around them and always made sure to spread positivity wherever they went. They were taken from our side far too soon and there was still so much work left to do.”

Another GoFundMe campaign was launched to cover funeral expenses for Alix, who was remembered as a “beloved daughter.” Both tributes have raised over $30,000 as of the afternoon of May 29.

Two Dane County school districts released statements identifying the teenagers as former and current students, according to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

At Sun Prairie East and La Follette high schools, counselors and social workers are available to students throughout the week. News from the Lake Geneva region reported.

“This loss will certainly bring up many emotions, concerns and questions for our entire school district, especially our students,” Sun Prairie Superintendent Brad Saron and East High School Principal Renee Coleman told families in an email Monday evening, according to the newspaper. “The death of a young person is always a sad and upsetting event and can often have a profound impact on the student’s friends and classmates.”

In a statement provided to PEOPLE, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation said they were “
deeply saddened by the news of the crash at WIS 16/WIS 60 in County TT in Dodge County.”

“We extend our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. Safety is our department’s highest priority and any loss of life on Wisconsin’s roadways is unacceptable,” they added. “We will continue to work with local authorities on safety measures to make the roads safer.”
