The 6-year-old girl killed Saturday when a car drifted off a road in Provo has been identified as Iris Arnold.
Provo police on Monday confirmed the girl's name after a GoFundMe account was created to help pay for the girl's funeral costs and the medical expenses of Iris' grandfather and 5-year-old boy cousin. They were injured when the car hit them.
"The Arnold Family appreciates the support and concern for them and are asking for all to show the same courtesy and love for the young man that caused the accident," said a statement issued on behalf of the Arnold family. "While their hearts are broken, they also ache for the young man involved."
The accident occurred at about 3 p.m. in the 2900 West block of Center Street, according to police. Investigators suspect the 18-year-old man behind the wheel of the car had been driving while drowsy, Officer Joshua Jennings of the Provo Police Department said Sunday.
The three family members were standing on the side of the street. The GoFundMe page published by family friends said a helicopter flew the cousin to Primary Children's Hospital.
An investigator will meet with officials at the Utah County Attorney's Office to discuss possible charges, Jennings said.
