NEW IBERIA, La. (KLFY) -- The surviving victim of a deadly hit-and-run in New Iberia last week needs help with his medical expenses from the crash, according to a GoFundMe post.

Eva Sims of St. Martinville has created the GoFundMe fundraising effort for Landyn Bonin with a goal of $1,000. The post said Bonin is Sims's nephew.

The post said Bonin was one of the victims in last week's hit-and-run crash in New Iberia that killed one person and sent another to the hospital in critical condition. Neither of the two victims were identified by police, and no details were released as the investigation is ongoing.

Bonin is in the hospital and needs "multiple surgeries in several months to come," according to the post.

"His family needs help with food at the hospital," the post reads. "Landyn is in critical condition and has to be in the hospital several months with multiple broken bones and the family needs help with everything that comes along with the hospital stays."

Police said the crash occurred in the 800 block of West Washington Street just after 8 p.m. on Jan. 7. The two victims were riding bicycles when they were hit by a vehicle. After the crash, the vehicle left the area, authorities said.

As of 3 p.m. Monday, the GoFundMe had collected eight donations totalling $346.
