“(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.
