AUBURN, Ala. (WTVM) - The Auburn community is coming together after a student landed in the trauma center of the hospital after a serious car accident which led to him being electrocuted.
Dylan Pegues has since died from his injuries. His family says he possibly came into contact with a power line while trying to exit the car.
A GoFundMe was set up Friday for Dylan. The original goal was $15,000. Throughout the last few days, the donated amount grew to more than $50,000.
Dylan was an Auburn High School student, a well known photographer in the area — and on the Auburn High soccer team.
