A sad story is coming out of Mississippi after five cousins were killed in a single-car crash on a rural road Tuesday night.
Around 10 p.m. Tuesday night, authorities responded to a crash and found a car had hit a bridge barricade before falling into a creek in Batesville.
The five victims have been identified as; The 19-year-old driver, Ti’Taiera Webster, along with her cousins, 14-year-old Montreal Webster, 12-year-old Jamerian Towns, 13-year-old Earl Holmes, and 15-year-old Destiny Liphford.
The sister of Ti’Taiera, a 14-year-old, survived the accident, according to local authorities.
Lataorus Holmes, a mother of one of the victims, said she would have never imagined she would be burying her child.
I never thought I would have to be burying one of my babies, Holmes said. The kids, they were so young.
Holmes said her sisters are the mothers of all other victims.
