TRAGIC: CA Mother Of 6 Killed On Way Home After Visiting Preemie Twins At Hospital

37-year-old Kate Evans, has been named as the Los Angeles woman killed in a late Friday night accident. The mother of six was returning to her California home from a hospital visit with her premature twin babies, Hannah and Sarah, when she was struck and killed by a suspected DUI driver.

Evens was driving home when she was hit head-on by a vehicle that had lost control after it sideswiped another car, the Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported.

“(The suspected drunk driver) sideswiped one car and then hit the other one head on,” Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Sgt. Dan Dantice told the Signal. “They found alcohol containers in the vehicle.”

Evans was about a mile away from home when the fatal wreck occurred, according to a YouCaring fundraising page.

Evans was returning home from visiting her twin daughters, Hannah and Sarah, who were not even 8 weeks old yet, the page stated. Her four other children are between the ages of 2 and 12 years old. source

“Katie couldn’t go a day without visiting her brand-new twin girls in the hospital. She was a devoted mother, sister and wife and will be immensely missed,” according to the page, which was set up to help her husband Jacob care for the children.

Since being posted over the weekend, the fundraising page has raised to more than $144,000.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
