Fundraiser set for crash victim

A fundraiser is set for Wednesday for the family of a Plumas Lake woman who died last month in a car wreck.

Rachel Lynn Gertz was killed Oct. 20 when her Honda Accord veered off Feather River Boulevard and crashed into a steep ditch near the intersection of Myrna Avenue.

Gertz, 27, is survived by her husband, Ryan, and two children, ages 1 and 3, according to a memorial Facebook page.

A celebration-of-life fundraiser features vendors for "early Christmas shopping," haircuts, Zumba, wine tasting and a silent auction, with all of the proceeds going to Gertz's family.

The fundraiser is set from 4 -9 p.m. at the Arboga Community Center at 1662 Broadway in Olivehurst.
