Toms River - A GoFundMe has been set up to help the Armstrong, Fiore, and Chapman families who are mourning the loss of their departed loved ones after a devastating car crash in Toms River of Friday, March 7.

“The Armstrong, Chapman, and Fiore families are looking to raise funds for Kiley and Evan's funeral, which will be held jointly as the pair were going to get married someday, as well as help with Krista and Ryan's medical expenses,” writes Cole Crozier, organizer of the GoFundMe.

”It would mean the world to the families if anyone could provide any financial assistance for the funeral and memorial services for Kiley and Evan, as well as medical expenses for Ryan and Krista.”

Jersey Coast Emergency News reported on the incident earlier today:

On the night of Friday, March 7th, 2025, 21-year-old Kiley Armstrong and her boyfriend, 23-year-old Evan Fiore, were involved in a fatal car accident caused by an unlicensed driver going over 100 miles per hour after he ran a red light and struck their car. When help arrived, the couple was found dead on impact. 19-year-old Ryan Chapman and Kiley Armstrong's twin sister, Krista, who were also in the same vehicle as Kiley and Evan, were flown to the Jersey Shore University Medical Center via MEDEVAC and are currently listed as in critical condition.

Before the crash, Toms River police units saw the BMW driving fast heading west on Route 37. Officers followed the vehicle from a distance, but did not pursue due to safety reasons, News12 notes.
