Sucks to see anyone lose a child. Hope they can find peace and happiness again in their lives

That is a horrible tragedy. Hank Jr lives in Paris so she might have been visiting him.

May that amazing woman have the grandest time being forever surrounded by the warm presence of God's golden sunlight in Heaven.

Amen.

Prayers to Hank Williams and family.

Said she was pulling a boat, then crossed into the oncoming lanes and flipped.

Sad news. I met her half-sister Holly at a show in Rainsville, AL. Serious musical talent.

Kind of a footnote to Hank, Jr. - his 2nd wife, Becky White, was either HC queen or Miss LSU back in the late 60s/early 70s. A good looking girl from Mer Rouge.

The daughter of singer Hank Williams Jr. was killed in a one-vehicle accident Saturday night northeast of Paris. According to Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Brad Wilbanks, Katherine D. Williams-Dunning, 27, of Springville, died from injuries sustained in the accident that took place at 7:44 p.m. on Highway 79 near West Antioch Road northeast of Paris. Her husband, Tyler J. Dunning, 29, of Springville was a passenger in the vehicle, and was airlifted with injuries to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville.

According to Wilbanks, the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Williams-Dunning was towing a boat as it headed south on Highway 79. The SUV crossed the median of the four-lane highway and began a rollover sequence. The vehicle crossed the northbound lanes of the highway before coming to rest on the east shoulder of the roadway.

"This is an active investigation and more details will be made available later," Wilbanks stated


Hank JR’s daughter riding in a 07 vehicle struck me as weird.

Interesting connection, ElderTiger. I'm sure I was wearing something LSU when I met Holly (Becky's daughter), hope that made her happy.

Looks like Becky was 1970 LSU Homecoming Queen. From the Reveille

She was a pretty girl. Sorry to hear this. I really like Hank Jr. Sucks to lose your kid, no matter who you are though. My sympathies to the family. That’s tragic.

Sounds to me like she was on her phone most likely, ran off the road, then over corrected and with the trailer she was doomed. Very unfortunate.

Still, a seat belt? I’d hope my wife’s vehicle could handle a rollover.

You are thinking about Paris France.



But there is also a Paris Tennessee.

I live about 45 minutes from Paris. If they were towing a boat, must’ve been going to Paris Landing. He does live in Paris and gets treated like a local. There’s a couple restaurants he frequents there and nobody bothers him.

I’ll say a prayer for him.
