The teenage girl who died Friday after being hit by a car in Southeast Portland was Fallon Smart, a 15-year-old student who was about to begin her sophomore year at Franklin High School.

On Sunday, people who knew Smart remembered how she enjoyed singing in a Portland choir, attending a magnet school for students who excelled in math and science, and starring in an eighth-grade play.

A 20-year-old man driving with a suspended license was arrested on Saturday and faces accusations of manslaughter, felony hit and run and reckless driving. Witnesses told police the driver was speeding and did not attempt to stop.

Smart was identified as the victim of the car crash on a GoFundMe webpage to raise money to cover the cost of her funeral. The page also served as a place for people who knew Fallon to share their memories of her.

"Fallon you will always shine on in the lives you touched," commenters who identified themselves as Lori and Molly Williams wrote. "You made a lasting impact on everyone who knew you, your friends at Winterhaven and Franklin."

Juanita Valder, principal of Franklin High School, also confirmed Fallon's identity in an email to students and staff on Saturday.

"As we look forward to the 2016-2017 school year, I am sorry to say I have sad news to share," Valder wrote. "Fallon Smart, 10th grader, was fatally injured in a car crash on Friday August 19. Fallon and her family were walking when Fallon attempted to cross the street near SE Hawthorne and 43rd when she was struck by a speeding car."

During middle school, Smart attended Winterhaven School, a citywide magnet school for students who excel in math and science. There, she was chosen to star in the school's eighth-grade play, a huge honor, said Betsy Hammond, parent of a student who also attended Winterhaven. Hammond also covers education for The Oregonian/OregonLive. Smart portrayed Kim Kardashian, a self-absorbed character who was the opposite of Smart in every way, with a wig and servants, and managed to embody the superficial and dominating personality with convincing presence and verve, Hammond said.

By Sunday evening, more than 400 donors to the GoFundMe campaign had contributed more than $22,000 toward a goal of $30,000. Any money raised beyond that will be donated to Bridging Voices, also known as the Portland Gay-Straight Alliance Youth Chorus.

"One of Fallon's passions was singing with Bridging Voices, a Portland nonprofit whose mission is to create a safe, welcoming and accessible place for queer, straight, and questioning youth to experience empowerment and unity through music," the GoFundMe page creator, identified as Amber Nelson Wagner, wrote. "Huge thanks to everyone who has already donated or shared this page. The family feels your love & support."

Smart's mother, Fawn Lengvenis, posted on the GoFundMe page Monday, fleshing out details of her second daughter's goodness and generosity.

"In everything Fallon did there was an element of giving. She wanted to become a teacher when she grew up," Lengvenis wrote. "She was going to be a teen leader at high school this year so new people wouldn't feel alone. She wanted to become an outdoor school counselor. She helped start a native garden at Winterhaven school because she just wanted bring the butterflies and birds back. She sewed pillows for the cats at the humane society. If she had money, she spent it on gifts for others."
