Daughter of country singer Hank Williams Jr. dies at 27 in a car crash

The daughter of country music star Hank Williams Jr. has died in a car crash. Katherine Williams-Dunning was 27.

Williams-Dunning was driving a 2007 Chevy Tahoe while towing a boat Saturday night in Henry County, Tennessee, when it crashed, according to Wesley Moster, a spokesman for the state's Department of Safety & Homeland Security. Her husband, Tyler Dunning, 29, was in the passenger seat.

The SUV, which was traveling south, crossed the dividing median of the highway and began a "rollover sequence," Moster told CNN in an email. It crossed the northbound lanes and finally came to a stop on the east shoulder of the roadway.

The couple married back in October 2015 and had two children, 5-year-old son Beau and 2-year-old daughter Audrey, according to Entertainment Tonight.

Sad for the family.
She was the second youngest child of Hank Williams Jr and had two young children
Hopefully, her husband survives.
That's going to be really hard on the children

boats or whatever. I see them swaying side to side on the road ahead and I immediately just slow my pace.


I have seen too many farm roll overs in my life--with two killed--neighbors that we knew. Just saying.

When I saw that she had died, I thought it must have happened in the past 24-hours
I hadn't read or seen anything on her death
I feel for the whole family.
Tragedy is the right word
