HAMILTON -- Friends of a Hamilton teenager killed in a car crash have set up a Facebook page in her memory.

Amber Mohr, 17, was a student at Hamilton High School West. She died Thursday morning when her car struck a tree off Interstate 195 in Upper Freehold.

"Lets all remember Amber and celebrate what a beautiful, vibrant, and funny girl she was and help her family along the way," one of the post's says.

Mohr's friends held a candlelight vigil at Hamilton West Friday night as well, they said.

The page says her friends are coordinating meal donations for her family, and any other assistance they can provide, like gift cards or just cookies and cupcakes. The friends say they also want to plan a benefit event, with music bands and possibly a gift auction.

"So anything you can help with is appreciated by all including her two best friends who are so saddened by this horrific tragedy," the page says.

Hamilton West parents said the school offered grief counseling for students Friday.

Hamilton schools were closed Thursday and Friday like most public schools around the state for the teachers' union conference in Atlantic City.

The New Jersey State Police have said Mohr's car was in the left lane of the highway near mile marker 9 when it suddenly went out of control on a wet road.

It veered onto the rumble strips lining the side of the road and then back to right and started to spin before it left the road and crashed into tree with its driver-side door, police said.

Mohr died at the scene.

The crash remained under investigation Friday.
