Family and friends gathered Saturday to commemorate the death of a 14-year-old Marana High School student who was fatally struck last week while running across Interstate 10. Yvanna Vejar, 14, died early Sept. 9 when she was struck by two vehicles near the Marana Road exit. "She said over Labor Day Weekend, 'Mom, you don't have any idea how popular I am, who Yvanna is,' " said her mom, Maria Vejar, while about 30 family and friends gathered for a brief ceremony Saturday afternoon at San Lucas Community Park in Marana.
