She was not in the vehicle," they revealed in the video. They went on to say, "Their truck veered to the right off the interstate and struck a tree and unfortunately Preston didn't make it. Katelynn and Jaelyn are severely injured. Katelynn has multiple broken bones. She had a very bad concussion. She walked for the first time today. Jaelen had to have emergency surgery on one of his legs. He has rods in him, pins in them, and they are both at different hospitals." The video ended with, "I just want to explain that Preston had made a huge impact on all of you guys. He made people smile, laugh, and I know you guys look forward to seeing him every day. And I know in heaven right now, if there's mud in heaven, he's probably found it and is jumping and dancing in it, running up and down the streets of gold in his overalls. He probably has golden overalls. We're going to miss him a lot." For the latest local news and features on Irish America, visit our homepage here .
