JOHNSON COUNTY, Texas — Nearly $200,000 has been raised to help the Alpharetta family, where six were killed in a Texas crash earlier this week.
The family was in Texas visiting family for the holidays when a two-car crash outside Dallas on Tuesday claimed the lives of six of the seven family members in their car.
Lokesh Potabathula, who survived the crash, has lost his wife, son, daughter, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and cousin. According to the online fundraiser, Potabathula is in "critical condition undergoing multiple surgeries as he had a deep intestinal injury, several fractures all over his body including spine, ribs, and limbs."
