A woman raised more than US$15,000 (RM69,847) for a family friend who underwent over a dozen surgeries after a severe car crash on I-95 in Florida, New Jersey officials say.

Now she’s accused of stealing the money meant for his medical expenses, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.
