Shundrell White Brady, the mother of the injured driver, said that having seen footage of the crash's aftermath, she was horrified by what her daughter's car looked like. 'That video doesn't give me the assumption that anybody would have made it out," she told FOX affiliate KRIV. The crash occurred just after 8 p.m. local time on Sunday, May 11, in the northbound lanes of I-45, according to a press release from the Conroe Police Department. Police said the 26-year-old mother, identified by family as ShaVohn White, and her two daughters, Chloe, 5, and Camiria, 3, were inside a Toyota Camry parked on the shoulder due to a blown tire. That's when a Honda Civic traveling in the HOV lane veered and struck the back of the family's car. Both cars were engulfed in flames when police arrived. The mother and her 5-year-old daughter were pulled from the wreckage by first responders and taken to a local hospital with 'severe burns and injuries,' police said. As for the 3-year-old girl, she was pronounced dead at the scene. According to police, the driver, 55-year-old Donald Carson, also suffered injuries that led him to being transported to the hospital. He was booked at the Montgomery County Jail the next day, according to jail records. It is unclear if he has retained an attorney. Carson, who has a previous DWI, was charged with intoxication manslaughter, a second-degree felony, and two counts of intoxication assault, both third-degree felonies, Sergeant David Dickenson of the Conroe Police Department tells PEOPLE. The grieving grandmother said that her daughter spent two hours on the side of the road, "waiting for someone to come and get her" because she had a flat tire, according to ABC station KTRK-TV. "There was constant communication between her and one of her siblings and someone who was trying to get her," she added. Dickenson tells PEOPLE that, as of Wednesday, May 14, 'the mom and five-year-old daughter are still listed as critical but stable.' A GoFundMe has been created to support the family, which also includes ShaVohn's son Chance Fullilove, who was not in the car at the time of the crash. A vigil is planned for Tuesday, May 13.

'Something I didn't even think I'd be going through.' 'You have a life gone too soon that was never able to fulfill her purpose,' added another family member. 'She could have been the next president, the next mayor or anything, but that's something that we will never ever know.' Read the original article on People
