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

Katherine Williams-Dunning, the daughter of country musician Hank Williams Jr., has died in a car crash.

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

The SUV, which was going south, crossed the dividing median of the highway and started a “rollover sequence,” Moster informed CNN in an email. It crossed the northbound lanes and ultimately came to a stop on the east shoulder of the roadway.

Williams-Dunning was the youngest of Williams Jr.’s five children. While her siblings pursued their own careers in music, she was running a graphic T-shirt company called Weston Jane, which is dedicated to women and mothers.

Relatives and celebrities reacted on her death reacted to the death with condolences.

Hank Williams Jr. is himself the son of one of the most influential music artists of 20th century Hank Williams Sr. who also died at the age of 27 due to heart attack on January 1, 1953.
