The police arrived at the scene around 2:37 a.m. local time to find that three of the vehicle’s occupants had been ejected during the crash. Unfortunately, both sisters were pronounced dead at the crash site, while the other two individuals were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. According to the authorities, the vehicle was travelling eastbound when the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to roll. Speed has been identified as a contributing factor in the crash.
As investigations are ongoing, the details of who was driving the vehicle have not been disclosed by officials. Both the Billings Police Department and Yellowstone County’s Coroner’s Office are working on determining the circumstances that led to this tragic accident. Speaking to the Billings Gazette, the girls’ cousin, Dustin Little Owl, expressed his deep sorrow at the loss of the two sisters, describing them as “like my little sisters.”
Alexia was a student in Pryor, while Alicia attended school in Hardin, according to Little Owl. In the wake of this heartbreaking event, he has set up a GoFundMe page to support the parents of Alicia and Alexia. The family is reeling from the shock and devastation of their sudden and untimely deaths. The community has rallied around them, showing support and solidarity in their time of grief.
The fundraiser organised by Little Owl aims to assist the family with the financial burdens associated with arranging funerals for the two sisters. Given their mother’s current status as a stay-at-home parent, financial constraints are adding to the emotional toll on the family. The outpouring of support and donations on the GoFundMe page is a testament to the impact that Alexia and Alicia had on their loved ones and the wider community.
The loss of the two sisters has left a deep void in the hearts of all who knew them. Their cousin’s words reflect the profound impact of their passing, as he describes the family’s collective heartbreak over the tragic accident. As the community mourns the lives lost in this terrible crash, the memories of Alexia and Alicia will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved them.
In times of such unimaginable loss, the resilience and compassion of community members shine through, offering solace and support to those affected by this devastating event. The memories of Alexia and Alicia will live on in the hearts of those who knew them, a shining legacy of the lives they lived and the hearts they touched.
