In a statement released to People, the Memphis Police Department revealed Kayla, as well as 38-year-old Julius Weaver, who was behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz S550, fell victim to a fatal crash with a tractor trailer in the 4:00 a.m. hour Sunday on a highway near Hollywood, Tennessee.

“Vehicle # 1, eastbound on I-40, struck with its front, the rear of vehicle # 2 which was stopped in the traffic lane due to crash at that location. The Vehicle #1 driver and passenger were pronounced deceased.”

According to WREG, Julius was “inattentive” behind the wheel, which contributed to the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene, while Kayla was taken to a local hospital where she eventually succumbed to her wounds. The crash is still currently under investigation.
