VAN NUYS (CBSLA.com) — A fundraiser was held Saturday for a family that lost four members in a car accident last Sunday.
Family and friends of the devastated family held a car wash today in Van Nuys.

The dead were identified as 56-year-old Juan Jesus Alaca, Rosa M. Morales, 58, both of North Hills and Anna Ceballos, 42, of Van Nuys and Maria Ramirez, 65, of West Hills.
