In a recent vacation post on Instagram, the young mother had said, “These days are wild with a 2 and 5 year old! In January this year, I decided to be more present and be more peaceful in all aspects of life.”
According to news channel WKRN, the 27-year-old and her husband were in the single-vehicle crash near Antioch Road at 7:44 p.m on Saturday. Their SUV was towing a boat, and crossed the dividing median and rolled over. The crash remains under investigation.
