ANSON COUNTY, N.C. — An Anson County family is mourning the loss of four family members killed in a car accident while driving to church services.
Troopers say Ryan Robinson was heading to church in Wadesboro with his wife Rose, their 15-year-old daughter Latavia Robison, and their two grandchildren, 13-year-old Latresha Wall and 10-year-old Taleyah Wall.
Troopers say another driver, Cheryl Bailey, was also driving to church services when she crossed the center line on Highway 52 North between Wadesboro and Ansonville and struck Robinson's car head-on.
Rose Robinson was the only passenger in the car to survive the accident.
Bailey was airlifted to CMC with serious injuries where she remained Monday afternoon. Bailey told investigators she doesn't remember anything prior to the accident, and troopers still don't know what caused her to drift across lanes.
Robinson's family members are struggling to deal with their loss.
"They loved to go to church, always wanted to go to church," said Tameka Little, mother to Latresha and Taleyah.
Little said the two girls called her after they left for church services to tell her they loved her -- just moments before the crash.
"We did that every day, every night, say good night, I love you," Little told Eyewitness News through her tears. "I just miss them...I just miss them."
Other relatives described all three girls as constant companions, with bright futures and a love for singing and dancing.
"Latavia was a cheerleader, in fact she had just made varsity at Anson High School," said her cousin, Demetrice Elliott.
But the family said faith is helping them in their grief, telling Eyewitness News the only thing they can do is lean on each other.
"We know that God has a plan, and only thing we have to lean on...there's a purpose for everything, and we don't question it. He needed them for something. Their work here was done. We just have to keep the faith," Elliott said.
Troopers say possible charges against Cheryl Bailey are still pending.
