Marianne Karth was driving on a Georgia highway with three of her nine children in May 2013 when a tractor trailer slammed their car from behind, spinning it around, and shoving it under another semi-truck’s trailer.
AnnaLeah, 17, died at the scene while Mary, 13, succumbed days later. Marianne Karth vowed their deaths wouldn’t be in vain. Karth, who home schooled her children, isn’t famous like Tracy Morgan, the comedian injured in a New Jersey Turnpike by a truck driven for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Nor has her story received the national media attention garnered by the deaths of four members of a Texas community college women’s softball team after a tractor trailer hit their bus last week in Oklahoma.
