Tallahassee, FL — Three people were killed in an accident outside of Tallahassee, Florida, on Tuesday, July 29, 2014. The accident took place near the Mahan Drive exit on Interstate 10, around 3:30 in the afternoon.
Diane Downey and her two grandchildren, Brooke and Nathan Downey, were on their way to the children’s aunt and uncle’s house in Jacksonville when their vehicle collided with another in the next lane of the highway. The collision sent Downey’s car spinning across several lanes of traffic and into the path of an 18-wheeler.
Downey and the two children were taken to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, where they passed away a short time later.
The driver of the vehicle Downey collided with has been identified as Cassandra Robles. She and her 1-year old passenger were not injured. Denis Makori, the driver of the 18-wheeler, and his 4-year old passenger were also uninjured.
At this time, it’s unclear who caused the initial collision, although news reports claim that Downey was driving inside her lane at the time of the accident.
