Amanda Butterfield ReportingA candlelight vigil was held in Centerville to remember two people killed in a car wreck this weekend.

Twenty-eight-year-old Travis Bastian and his younger sister Desiree were driving back from Lake Powell yesterday when they hit a motor home head-on. They were killed in the crash.

There were five people in the motor home; three had minor injuries.

UHP troopers believe drowsy driving may have contributed to the crash.

Scott Kjar, LDS Ward Bishop: "It's incomprehensible the pain and sorrow they're going through, but there are so many people here that love and care for them we just want them to know that there's a lot of people supporting them and are willing to help them bear their burdens and mourn with them."

Jasmine Williams, Desiree's Friend: "Things like this just make you realize how special life is, not to ever take it for granted and to always make sure to tell people you love ‘em, and to always let ‘em know and I love Des and I'm gonna miss her."

Almost 300 people showed up for the vigil last night.
