Dee Estelle, her husband and their 3 children were singing Christmas songs on their way home from seeing Christmas lights when a driver slammed into them at 70 mph.
HOUSTON — Birthdays are tough for Dee Estelle. Her daughter Gabbie would have turned 28 on Wednesday if a distracted driver hadn't killed her in 2015.
Estelle, her husband and their three children were heading home a few days before Christmas after seeing the holiday lights at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. The family was laughing and singing Christmas songs when a driver who was texting slammed into them at 70 mph. "I refused to believe that they were gone but I think in my heart I knew they were," Estelle said at a news conference on her daughter's birthday."And I kept telling them, 'Hey it's mom, wake up. C'mon wake up' and I kept telling them, I kept talking to them saying, 'If we get separated, I'll find you. Don't worry, I'll find you.
April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month so Estelle attended a news conference in Houston to beg Texas drivers not to text when they're behind the wheel.
