On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County medical examiner released the names of all four people killed in a crash in Wrightwood last Friday.
The victims were identified as 20-year-old Neveah Harper, 19-year-old Cole Torres, 21-year-old Rebeka Citlali and 19-year-old Jason Potter.
Naomi Potter, Jason’s older sister, was released from the hospital a day after the crash and says she remembers everything including how she lost her three friends and her brother.
“I feel like a walking miracle,” 21-year-old Naomi Potter said.
Potter said she is thankful to be alive today after surviving a terrible accident about two miles away from home.
“Physically I have some fractured ribs and severely bruised lung. Other than that, I have a seatbelt mark,” she said.
Potter says the group of six went out last Friday near Wrightwood, but things took a sudden turn on their trip back home.
Potter sayd Neveah had a newer car to her. “She was too busy with the clutch or shift – I saw it all happen. My last words to her were make sure you have control,” Potter said.
She says that’s when somehow her friend lost control.
“She went to go turn because we were passing a turn,” Potter said. “Wnd I remember holding on and bracing.”
The California Highway Patrol says the crash happened around 1:30 Friday morning when the car veered off the highway, plunged into the embankment and slammed into a utility pole killing four of the six passengers.
Potter said she was in the front passenger seat that’s why she had the seatbelt on.
The Potter family asking for prayers for their son and for the group of friends as this mountain community continues to mourn their loss.
“This is a huge event that happened all at once. Six kids six families it’s tragedy,” Naomi’s father, Jason Potter, said.
The families of all four people killed have a fundraiser online to help with funeral costs.
The other survivor from the crash remains hospitalized and the crash remains under investigation.
