KAMLOOPS — A fundraising campaign has been launched for a Kamloops family who encountered tragedy over the weekend.

According to a GoFundMe page, Matt and Anna Grandia were on their way to the Lower Mainland along with their children Sunday to begin a family vacation.

When they stopped along the highway and got out of their vehicle to help victims of a crash, Matt and Anna were hit themselves.

The author of the GoFundMe page says the two were rushed to hospital in critical condition, while their children are unhurt.

As of this morning, the fundraising effort has already collected more than $20,000 in pledges.
