Business owner helps raise money for worker, sister seriously injured in crash

CENTERVILLE — Two teens survived a car crash, but are in critical condition.

As reported on News Center 7 at 5:30, Chris Spiritos, owner of Greek Street, said he knew something was wrong when his employee didn’t show up to work.

“She was supposed to be here at five o’clock, and she’s never late, so it was like 5:15 so we knew something was up,” Spiritos said.

He said he eventually got a call that his employee and her sister were involved in a serious crash.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office responded to Spring Valley Pike and Rook Road just before 4 p.m. Friday.

Deputies said they found the two teens trapped inside of a car and one was unconscious.

They are now at the hospital recovering from serious injuries.

“We did see the picture of the car and we were just so happy and thankful that she was okay,” Spiritos said.

Although the employee had only worked there for four months, she made a lasting impact.

“She has a great work ethic. She’s always on time,” Spiritos said.

He felt compelled to make a GoFundMe for the family to help with expenses.

“We want her to heal quickly and help take care of some of her medical expenses,” he said. “We are hoping the local community can come together and help out.”

Spiritos said the staff at Greek Street plans to visit the two sisters daily.

A gofundme page has been started to support Gabby and Grace’s recovery.
