A Florida mother tragically lost her life, while her three children sustained injuries in a car crash on Interstate 95 during Memorial Day. The accident happened after a truck experienced a tire blowout and collided with their van.

According to FOX 35 Orlando, Olivia Maggs, 32, was travelling southbound on I-95 near the Pineda Causeway in Brevard County on Monday afternoon when an F-350 truck suffered a tire blowout, as stated by the Florida Highway Patrol.

The tire blowout caused the truck, which was in the center lane, to lose control and crash into Maggs’ Honda Odyssey van. Both vehicles veered off the road and hit a guardrail, according to the news outlet.

Maggs was a “dedicated” and “beloved” nurse at Parrish Medical Center, the health system wrote on Facebook in a post mourning her death. She worked at the hospital for nine years and began in the Medical-Surgical Department as a graduate nurse before transferring to the Women’s Center.

“Olivia’s kindness, strength and gentle spirit left a lasting impact on her patients, fellow Care Partners and everyone fortunate enough to know her. Our hearts are with her family, friends and children during this unimaginable time. We are grieving alongside them and will forever carry her memory in our hearts,” the post stated.

Hundreds of comments were left on the post, with dozens of women sharing their positive experiences with Maggs as a nurse and as a friend.

“You never forget the name and face of someone who made such a lasting impression on you. For all three of my children’s births at Parrish Olivia was one of the most encouraging and supportive nurses. She guided me through strapping my firstborn in his car seat as we had never done it before and I was so anxious. My heart is with her family and all who mourn her,” one woman wrote.

More than $126,000 had been donated to the GoFundMe account as of early Wednesday morning.

“Olivia was a kind, beautiful soul—a loving and gentle mother, devoted wife, and cherished daughter, sister, friend, and compassionate nurse. Her absence leaves a deep void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her,” the GoFundMe reads.
