It's been two weeks since two north county San Diego teenagers were killed in a horrific SUV versus van crash near Bishop, California. Two survivors of the crash, Derek Thomas and Drew Delis, who are recent graduates of Cathedral Catholic High School, are still fighting for their lives. On Sunday, August 22nd, a blood drive was held for them at St. Therese of Carmel in Carmel Valley.
According to 10news.com, Derek Thomas is showing signs of improvement, but needs multiple surgeries and donated blood. Apparently he requires two surgeries per month for the next several months.
Thomas was riding in a Ford Expedition which crossed into oncoming traffic on Highway 395 and crashed into one of three vans carrying athletes from Cal-Baptist in Riverside.
Killed in the crash were Amanda Post and Natalie Nield, also graduates of Cathedral Catholic High School. Derek Thomas and Drew Delis suffered severe burns in the crash.
Aside from the two San Diego survivors of the crash, the blood drive will benefit a blood supply that is always diminished in summer.
