Memorial services will be held today for Tammy Tye, a University of Hawai'i swimmer who was killed in a traffic accident last week.

A service organized by the UH swimming and diving team will be held at 5 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu. A sunset service will follow at Ala Moana Beach Park's Magic Island.

Tye, a 19-year-old sophomore from England, was riding her bicycle in a crosswalk when she was struck by a car at about 8:10 p.m. this past Friday.

Tye's father is expected to attend today's services.

Fans at Monday's Wahine basketball game at the Stan Sheriff Center donated more than $3,000 in memory of Tye, according to the University of Hawai'i media relations office.

Donations to the Tammy Tye Memorial Fund can be sent to any First Hawaiian Bank branch or the UH Athletic Department, 1337 Lower Campus Road; Honolulu, HI 96822.
