DENTON, N.C. — Two weeks following a head-on crash that killed a mother and two children in Davidson County, troopers said the driver who crossed the center lane has also died from their injuries.
Troopers said the Toyota driver, Robyn L Degennaro, died Thursday as a result of their injuries from the crash. Investigators said speed and alcohol were both factors in the crash.
The crash happened January 6 on Highway 109, south of Cid Road.
Trooper said the Toyota went left of center and hit a Chrysler head-on, then a Chevrolet.
Brittany Palmer and her two sons, 7-year-old Lincoln and 12-year-old Ayden, were in the Chrysler and did not survive.
"Brittany and the boys were everything to me. We always made it through everything together, and now I'm going through the worst part of my life without them," said the boys' father, Dennis Palmer.
The boys went to Silver Valley Elementary School and South Davidson Middle School.
In recent years, rumble strips have been added to the road from Thomasville to Denton to prevent these types of crashes.
While officials work to make the highway safer, they encourage drivers to pay attention to the road and others around them.
