Friends have raised tens of thousands to support the surviving members of a family in mourning after a father and daughter were killed on a road trip.
COBB COUNTY, Ga. - The loss of Chris Rountree and his youngest daughter, Libby, has not only been devastating for the Lassiter High School family, where she was a rising senior, but also for the East Cobb Coummunity.
Talking to those who knew them both, it was obvious both father and daughter were well-loved here and their lives, however short, impacted so many.
Georgia State Troopers say 17-year-old Elizabeth Roundtree and her father, 53-year-old Chris, were returning from a beach trip Saturday afternoon when they were involved in a car accident in Dublin.
State troopers said a GMC Sierra truck was going the wrong direction and slammed into the family car, a Volkswagon Jetta. Both father and daughter were pronounced dead.
The mother and oldest daughter survived the wreck with serious injuries.
