Donna Joe Wright

I am trying to raise funds for the family of my cousin that passed in a fatal accident. The funds will ultimately be used for her funeral and medical expenses for the children.

Donna Joe was killed and her two children were critically injured Monday in a crash involving two big rigs near Cleveland, Texas. The children, ages 2 and 7, were flown to the Texas Medical Center with critical injuries. DJ was driving westbound on FM 787, near the Cleveland Municipal Airport, when she tried to pass a big rig parked in a curve. DPS Sgt. Justin Ruiz said she overcorrected, causing her to lose control of her car. She then hit an oncoming big rig and ultimately crashed into the first big rig she was trying to pass.

She was pronounced dead at the scene. The 2-year-old boy, who was in a car seat, was ejected from the car.
