SANFORD, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Friends are rallying around a Sanford family who lost a daughter and granddaughter in a Saturday afternoon accident.
Twenty-nine-year-old Jessica Kuk and her 6-year-old child, Kristina Smith, died in the crash.
Highway Patrol say Kuk was driving when she ran off of Cedar Lane, and plunged into a pond.
Authorities say speed was a factor.
In a GoFundMe page that has been set up, Kuk was described as a "such a kindhearted person with a special love for God," and Smith as a "shy but full of life and had a smile o light up the room."
Both will be laid to rest Friday.
