Funeral arrangements have been set for the three Jersey City residents killed during a fatal auto accident in Jefferson last Saturday night.

Lucila Colon, 62, Tevia Booth, 11, Julissa Colon, 36 and Julissa's unborn child were all killed when an SUV driven by Luis Torres, 37, of Jersey City, drove off the road and crashed into a home on Route 15 in Jefferson, authorities said.

The accident also injured six others who were in the car, authorities said.

Visitation for the three family members will be held on Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Plaza Funeral Home at 445 Monmouth St. in Jersey City. Visitation will also be held on Monday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Ocean Avenue Baptist Church at 735 Ocean Ave. in Jersey City.

They will be laid to rest on Tuesday at Bay View Cemetery in Jersey City following a "celebration of life" at the church. A live webcast of those services can be seen at www.thefamilyfuneralhome.com beginning at 10:45 a.m. that day.

Julissa Colon, a mother of two and grandmother of one, was five months pregnant at the time of the accident.

Lucila Colon leaves behind four children and six grandchildren.

Booth is Torres' stepdaughter, Julissa Colon's goddaughter and Lucila Colon's granddaughter.

Torres appeared in court on Tuesday, where bail was held at $750,000.

Torres's relatives have stuck behind him, telling The Star-Ledger he still is family to them.

"He's part of our family and all the family is supporting Luis a hundred percent," Julissa Colon's sister Elizabeth Echevarria told The Star-Ledger.

According to authorities, Torres had admitted being intoxicated at the time of the crash and has been charged with multiple counts of aggravated manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, vehicular homicide and assault by auto, authorities said.
