- Fundraising efforts to benefit the young surviving members of a Mississippi family torn apart by a deadly traffic accident continue. The Johanson family lost three members -- both parents and an 8-year-old daughter - in a Jan. 3 accident in Texas.
Generous donations from friends, family and complete strangers continue to pour in for the Mississippi family that was ripped in half in a tragic car accident on Jan. 3.
Shortly after a Delta State University professor, his wife and one of their four children were killed in a Texas highway accident, an online fundraising campaign was started to help pay for their funerals and support the three surviving children.
Wednesday morning that effort had topped $81,631 with a goal of $100,000.
DSU physics professor Adam Johanson, his wife Elizabeth and their 8-year-old daughter, Jane, were killed on Jan. 3, in Texas while traveling back to Mississippi after a visit to see family and friends in Las Vegas over the holidays.
The couple’s three surviving children, ages 12, 5 and 3, received minor injuries, but were treated and released shortly after the accident.
