It’s been nearly a year since a wrong-way crash claimed the lives of an elderly couple and their grandson.

 

Donna, Floriano and Jacoby Arruda were on their way home Christmas night and were crossing the Veterans Memorial Bridge when their car was hit head-on by an oncoming vehicle.

 

Floriano, 73, and Jacoby, 15, were pronounced dead within 24 hours of the crash, and Donna, 68, succumbed to her injuries a few days later.

 

Jason Hill’s home is less than a mile away from where the deadly crash happened. Each year, he decorates his front yard not only to spread holiday cheer, but also to collect donations for local charities.

 

But this year, Hill decided to dedicate his display to the Arruda family.
