Patricia Edwards' extended family and loved ones had traveled from across the country to celebrate her on Saturday , as she grooved into her eighth decade decked out in tie-dye bell bottoms and peace sign jewelry.

The SUV carrying 10 family members careened off a two -lane country road and into a canal in a remote stretch of western Palm Beach County , killing 9 people, six of them children.

Investigators say Wiggins failed to navigate a left turn as the road curved towards the south, sending the car careening into a guardrail before overturning in the canal below.

The accident is still setting in for loved ones of the victims, who just days ago were celebrating a major family milestone.

“I keep saying it’s a nightmare,” family member Dawn Wiggins-Ely posted on Facebook. “Lord we need you.”.
