ROBERTSDALE, Ala. — Some moments arrive without warning and leave behind a silence that words can never truly fill.

According to Robertsdale police, the crash happened shortly after 7 p.m. near Fairground Avenue. Braxton was driving a silver Toyota truck with Kimberly as a passenger when the vehicle crossed the median and collided head-on with a Ford F-250 traveling in the opposite direction.
Both Braxton and Kimberly died in the crash.
Three people in the other vehicle, including a one-year-old child, were injured and taken to a hospital. They were later released.
Kimberly is being remembered by friends as someone who always had a smile and enjoyed making people laugh. One friend who spoke publicly after the crash said her loss was difficult to comprehend and offered condolences to her family, coworkers and community.
