Donations are pouring in for a man and woman died in an accident near Delicate Arch on Friday.

The two deceased are Toshiaki Amimoto, 65, and Etoko Amimoto, 60.

They were a couple visiting from California.

Their son, 30-year-old Ryo Amimoto, survived the accident, but suffered serious injuries.

A GoFundMe page was set up with modest goal of $2,000.

Donors have offered nearly $12,000 to a GoFundMe account.

Comments made on the GoFundMe page, many in Japanese, offer statements of love and appreciation for the couple.

Among the comments, well-wishers say the couple was loved by many people.

Other donors also expressed hope that their son will heal quickly from his injuries.
