In March 2018, an ordinary trip for Easter preparations turned into a nightmare for a family in Oklahoma. Linda Danette Smith Irie, her two young grandchildren—9-year-old Brooklynn Newville and 5-year-old Jace—along with their cousin Isabella Anthony, were driving to pick out a lamb for an Easter photo shoot.
Sadly, their car was struck by another vehicle, resulting in the tragic deaths of Linda, Brooklynn, and Jace.
Reports suggest that the young driver responsible for the accident was distracted, possibly texting at the time of the collision.
Six-year-old Isabella miraculously survived the crash, becoming the only witness to this heartbreaking event.
Since the accident, she and her family have actively advocated for safer driving, spreading awareness about the dangers of distracted driving—hoping to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Brooklynn and Jace's parents, Shaneé and Brian, were left to grapple with the unimaginable grief of losing both their children in one day.
