Tommy Moorehead III, 41, and his two young children, Tommy Jr., 4, and Lynnlee, 6, were killed in a disastrous car accident on Saturday in Texas.<\/p>\n
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the accident happened when a 2007 Dodge 3500 tried to pass a 2017 Toyota Tacoma in a no-passing zone on FM-3133 and struck a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado head-on. All three of them perished at the scene when the Silverado carrying Tommy and his kids caught fire.<\/p>\n
Rocky Patterson, 63, the Dodge\u2019s driver, has been taken into custody and is facing three manslaughter charges. He has a ~$3 million bond and is still in Grayson County Jail.<\/p>\n
Brooke Mustard Moorehead, Tommy\u2019s wife, lost her whole family in the collision. To help with funeral expenses and other unforeseen costs, a GoFundMe has been established.<\/p>\n
The fundraiser claims that Brooke lost everything in an instant. Tommy was a loving father and husband. Tommy Jr. was just starting out and was always grinning, while Lynnlee was vibrant and inquisitive.<\/p>\n
A longtime worker at a nearby restaurant, Brooke is recalled as devoted, kind, and resilient. Now, the community is coming together to help her deal with this unfathomable loss.<\/p>\n
As of this writing, the fundraiser has raised more than ~$92,000 of its target of \\$150,000.<\/p>\n
The local community has been greatly impacted by this tragic incident, and Brooke is receiving an overwhelming amount of support during this difficult time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
