The crash happened in the 2600 block of Bristol Road in Warrington around 9:30 p.m. Friday, when a Toyota Camry and a Ford Explorer crashed in the area of the former Fox Acute Center.
Amonov lived in the Trevose section of Lower Southampton Township. The Neshaminy High School senior was from Uzbekistan in Central Asia, Campi said.
Campi said she did not know where Artem lived. The Blazers Youth Ice Hockey Club in Philadelphia posted on the team's Facebook Page that he was a former player.
"It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news that one of our former Philadelphia Blazers players has passed away in a car accident last night. He was a wonderful young man, a great teammate, and part of our hockey family," the club said. "Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
A GoFundMe page was launched for Artem. So far, over $20,000 has been raised of its $28,000 goal.
"With a heavy heart, we are facing a horrible loss of our friend's son," said Andrei Shymasiuk, who created the fundraiser. "Kozyrev was only 16 when he was taken from his family by a horrific car accident. Nobody has to go through such a tragedy, a child is the worst. Please, help a family with funeral expenses, as it was such an unexpected, and nobody could ever be prepared for it."
A GoFundMe was also created for Saparbekov, the driver of the Toyota Camry driver. So far, over $17,000 has been raised of a $20,000 goal.
"Three young boys lost their lives in this accident, one of them was our Elkhan," said Azamat Sharshenov, who created the fundraiser. "Another one of our brothers from the community is currently in critical condition at the hospital. Today, they and their families need our help more than ever."
Warrington Police Chief Daniel Friel said that one of the teenagers attended the Philadelphia School District.
