UNION CITY — Family and friends will gather today for the funeral of a
15-year-old boy who died of injuries suffered in a two-car crash last week.

Fardin Qayyumi died about 2 p.m. Saturday at Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, police Sgt. Ray Gedney said. He died of multiple blunt injuries, according to the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau.

A junior at James Logan High School, Qayyumi had been on life support since the April 10 crash at Decoto Road and Mission Boulevard.

He was one of five occupants of a 1990 Toyota Corolla that crashed into a 1987 Chrysler minivan. The driver of the Corolla apparently had attempted a last-second lane change when he rear-ended the minivan, police said.

The investigation is ongoing, and no citations have been issued.

Qayyumi was on his way to a cemetery to visit the grave site of a friend's father when the accident occurred, said Ramin Akramzada, who was in the car and suffered back injuries.

Those close to Qayyumi described him as a good student who embraced his Afghan heritage.

"He was very kind. He never did anything bad, like smoking or drinking. He was always happy," said Ajmal Faizi, 17, who befriended Qayyumi at Mt. Eden High School in Hayward before the latter transferred to Logan this school year.

Faizi said the last time he saw his best friend was at an Afghan New Year's celebration in Livermore earlier this month, when he videotaped Qayyumi dancing.
