Cal State Fullerton held a vigil for one of its soccer players who died six weeks after colliding with a box truck while riding an electric scooter.

Sophomore Lauren Turner and teammate Ashlyn Gwynn were riding electric scooters near campus when a box truck hit the two young women, according to the Fullerton Police Department.

Officers said all three of them were driving in the same lane on Associated Road, near the intersection with Yorba Linda Boulevard.

The two young women suffered life-threatening injuries. Gwynn recently transferred from the hospital to a rehabilitation center in Houston. Turner initially made some progress in her recovery, but her condition plateaued.

"When we got news of this incident, a part of me died," leadership coach Ali Malaekeh said.
