Family Sets Up Fundraiser For Natick HS Student Killed In Crash

NATICK, MA — Friends of the Natick 17-year-old killed in a car crash gathered for a vigil at Natick High School on Sunday night to remember the teen.

Giovanni Taboh, 17, was identified as the victim in the Saturday night rollover crash, according to WBZ-TV. A GoFundMe fundraiser has also been set up for Taboh with a goal of raising $70,000.

Another teen was driving a Jeep Wrangler along Route 93 in Canton on Saturday when the SUV collided with another car while changing lanes, according to state police. Taboh was ejected from the Jeep, and was later pronounced dead at a hospital in Brockton.

"Preliminary investigation indicates that while traveling southbound on Route 93, the Jeep’s driver, while in close proximity to Exit 2B, attempted to cross multiple lanes to take the exit. The Jeep struck the Toyota on the ramp," state police described. "The impact pushed the Toyota into the wood line and caused the Jeep to roll over across the ramp and into the adjacent infield."

The Jeep driver and three other passengers were also hospitalized, as was the driver in the other car.

"His sense of humor was a feature which was constantly highlighted by his parents," the fundraiser page set up by George Taboh says. "He loved to travel to explore new horizons, and he was a budding musician who was constantly creating music with astounding lyrics and beats."
