Two other people were injured in the crash, though their conditions are unknown.
Noah Driscoll said he was on his way to work Thursday afternoon when he found out that Smith, the mother of his two oldest children — a 14-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter — was killed in a crash.
“The information that I received was that my kids’ mom was sitting at this intersection at Little Richmond and Olive Road. The light was red. I guess allegedly it was some people racing or driving fast down Olive. The light turned green, she pulled out. When she pulled out they hit her and her vehicle, I guess it flipped over and it hit that tree down there and it killed her instantly,” Driscoll said.
