The car then hit a tree and the force of the accident threw the victim and her dog out of the vehicle. Both died in the crash, and it is unknown if the driver of the other vehicle was hurt. As investigators look into the cause of the car accident, the family of the victim may begin piecing back together their lives in the wake of her loss.
