LEESBURG –\u00a0<\/strong>A family is\u00a0seeking help to raise money to cover funeral costs after the unexpected death of their family member due to an accident in Leesburg<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

William “Robert” Ward was riding his motorcycle on US Hwy 441 in Leesburg when he stopped to allow a Treadway Elementary School bus to load children at a bus stop. While stopped, Ward was struck by a 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by a 17-year-old woman from Leesburg.<\/p>\n

Ward was transported to Leesburg Regional Medical Center with serious injuries where he later passed away.<\/p>\n

Ward’s family members set up a GoFundMe account to help raise funds to cover the unexpected costs of a funeral.<\/p>\n

“William ‘Robbie’ Ward was a husband and a father of a 7-year-old son named RJ, a 4-year-old daughter named Zoey, and a 2-year-old daughter named Gabbie,” Ward’s brother-in-law wrote in the GoFundMe campaign.<\/p>\n

Their goal of $9.700 will help cover the costs of a proper burial, according to the GoFundMe post.<\/p>\n

In the first two hours of the campaign, the family was able to raise $275 of their goal. They are hoping to raise the rest of the funds in time for Ward’s funeral.<\/p>\n
