Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A family in Auburndale, Florida is grieving the tragic loss of their 5-year-old daughter, Madeline Nichols, after she was involved in a suspected DUI crash. Instead of preparing for her first day of kindergarten, the family is now preparing to say goodbye to their beloved little girl.
The Nichols family expressed their deep sorrow and the void left by Madeline’s absence in a heartfelt message shared through a GoFundMe page. They described Madeline as a “beautiful light of life” in their family.
The devastating incident occurred in the Lakeland area, where a driver identified as 24-year-old Robert Harison crossed a center lane and collided with the Dodge Caravan carrying Madeline, her father Justin Jones, and mother Jacqueline Nichols.
Tragically, Madeline lost her life in the crash, while her parents sustained serious injuries. Harrison was subsequently arrested and is facing DUI-related charges in connection with the incident.
The family highlighted the long road of recovery ahead for Madeline’s parents as they cope with the loss of their daughter. They described the accident as a result of a drunk driver and emphasised the impact of Madeline’s joyful and loving presence on those around her.
The investigation into the fatal crash is ongoing, with Harrison set to appear in court next month. Meanwhile, Madeline’s father remains hospitalised as the family makes arrangements for her final farewell.
In light of the tragedy, the family has set up a GoFundMe account in Madeline’s memory to help cover expenses and support them during this difficult time. The account has received an outpouring of support from well-wishers, with over 100 donations made since its creation.
