LAKE FOREST and LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (KABC) -- Two more of the five teenagers killed in a fiery freeway crash in Irvine earlier this month were laid to rest Saturday.

Friends and family gathered to say goodbye to 15-year-old Matthew Melo at the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest.

A few hours later, services were held for Jenny Campos, also 15, at the St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Laguna Woods.

"We're going to help each other to overcome it, and we're so happy and blessed to see everyone here," Campos family friend Karen Rayo said.

Melo and Campos were two of the five teens killed in a crash while on their way home from Knott's Scary Farm on Oct. 4.

A 16-year-old unlicensed driver survived the crash. The investigation into what caused him to veer off the road was ongoing.
