A memorial service is scheduled for Sarah Wong following a tragic accident last month when a construction crane collapsed atop a Seattle building and came down crashing down onto a busy street.
Wong was among four people who died in the accident, taking place at about 3:30 p.m. on April 27 as a plume of dust kicked up following the incident. Investigators say the crane was in the process of being disassembled when it fell onto the street, hitting cars below, one occupied by Wong.
The service for Wong is scheduled for Saturday, May 25, at 1:30 p.m. at Evergreen Baptist Church, 323 Workman Mill Road, La Puente, California, Saturday, May 25, 2019 at 1:30 p.m.
Witnesses said powerful wind gusts may be a leading cause of the crane falling, but investigators say it will take some time before
Two ironworkers were killed on the crane and two people died in cars below, including Wong, who was a freshman at Seattle Pacific University planning to major in nursing. Wong reportedly was riding in an Uber car with a fellow Seattle Pacific University student, who escaped without major injury, but is said to be deeply saddened by the loss of her classmate.
Wong was a student at South Pasadena High during her freshman year, transferred and graduating from Futures Academy, a private school in Pasadena, before attending Seattle Pacific University.
She is the daughter of Henry Wong and Andrea Wang, and sister of Aaron.
