I am curious to hear more of what might have caused the accident. Was it sleep deprivation? Or just simple driver misjudgement. The reason being is that a jeep is a 20 point in crash testing. Unless it is a high profile. Good luck to the family. Stuff like this should not happen.

I knew Desiree from her work doing hearing and vision screenings for the Head Start Program. She was really great with the kids. So sorry to hear of her death.

Desiree was a cheerful, kind, gentle woman who provided hearing and vision screens for hundreds of children throughout our elementary school buildings. She will be missed. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
