The wife of a truck driver accused of causing a 28-car pile-up that killed four people on a Colorado highway last Thursday has launched a fundraising page to help pay for his defense.

Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, 23, was arrested on four counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of vehicular assault after the crash and remains in the custody of the Lakewood police in Jefferson County.
