A friend has launched a fundraiser to help the family of an Uber driver killed in a crash with a British man who authorities say was fleeing from police.

Jose M. Martinez , 42, of Lindenwold, died and others were seriously injured in the Nov. 9 crash in West Deptford Township.

George Linard , 24, ignored police efforts to pull him over and disregarded a red light before slamming into Martinez’s vehicle, according to police.

Martinez had just finished his regular day job and was driving for Uber to support his family when the wreck occurred, according to the GoFundMe fundraiser, which was created by a friend of the victim’s daughter.

Martinez was the sole provider for his two children, the post noted, adding that his daughter recently gave birth.
