Miranda and a 3-year-old daughter whose identities had not been disclosed were among the other passengers who suffered minor injuries.
Despite being in severe condition, Miranda’s kid was finally discharged from the hospital. Neither he nor the three-year-old were wearing seat belts.
Both Miranda and Payton were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision, but Miranda’s was a lower-quality belt that did not keep her securely fastened.
To assist with the funeral costs, a member of the bereaved family created a GoFundMe campaign, which raised over $18,000.
