(TheIndependentStar.com) – Shattering the couple’s future and dreams, a tragedy unfolded on Interstate 75 in Georgia as a young nanny was killed in a seven-car pileup just days before her boyfriend planned to propose.

The heartbreaking accident occurred last week in Atlanta when two utility trucks collided with a van on I-75.

The van subsequently hit the Toyota Corolla that 24-year-old McKayla Harshaw and her boyfriend, Andrew Perez, were traveling in, which caused their vehicle to flip.

Harshaw tragically died as a result of the rollover, marking her as the sole fatality in the horrific crash. The young woman was only four days away from celebrating her 25th birthday.

Her boyfriend was behind the wheel at the time of the accident and planned to propose shortly after the turn of her birthday.

He sustained significant injuries including a fractured skull and broken neck and back, leaving a painful void for the grieving family and loved ones.

Moreover, the catastrophic event shut down the highway for several hours, leaving six other individuals injured.

Despite the extensive damages and trauma, Connecticut State Troopers and local emergency services worked diligently to manage the aftermath.

McKayla was remembered as a “radiant light,” serving as a cherished nanny, an avid hiker and a climber. Her untimely death left behind her parents, a brother, and grandparents, as they struggle to cope with their immense loss.

Her mother, Melissa Gunther, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to assist with funeral expenses, which has already raised nearly $18,000 of the $20,000 goal, reflecting the community’s support and shared mourning.

In addition, sources indicated a funeral service is scheduled for tomorrow, offering a moment of solace and reflection for her family and friends.

The unforgiving chain reaction began with the collision of two tractor-trailers with a white Ford Transit van, which cascaded into multiple vehicles, including the Corolla and an Audi A4, amid diverted traffic.

While a whole community mourns the loss of McKayla and prays for the recovery of Andrew Perez and the other victims, it is crucial to demand accountability and action from the officials to prevent such heartbreaking incidents in the future.
