STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A 11-year-old New Jersey girl seriously injured in a go-kart crash earlier this month has died from her injuries, according to a report from NJ.com.

On May 15, the girl was aboard a go-kart when it hit a tree stump and flipped over, Jackson Township police told the outlet.

The 11-year-old, who has been identified as Nicole Galarza Murillo by family members, was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, N.J. with a serious head injury.

Funeral services were held for the child on Tuesday, according to a GoFundMe established to raise money for her funeral expenses.

Murillo was spending the day riding go-karts and ATVs with her family when the crash occurred, according to the GoFundMe page.

“Nicole donated her organs and tissue to NJ Sharing Network to help save the lives of others,” the GoFundMe message read. “She grew her hair in hopes to donate it to a child with cancer. Her mother was able to fulfill Nicole’s dream and cut her hair to donate her hair as well.”
