After a fatal car accident on Wednesday, Feb. 17, across from Rippavilla Plantation, the community is rallying behind a family by raising funds through a GoFundMe Campaign.

Melissa Carter and her son Maxwell Carter were in a Chevy Blazer on Nashville Highway that was struck from behind by a tow truck causing the vehicle to roll on its side off the highway and burst into flames.

Through the assistance of citizens who stopped after the wreck occurred, Melissa Carter was pulled from the vehicle but her son died at the scene.
