Soddy Daisy Woman Killed in Car Accident
A Soddy Daisy family is mourning a woman killed in a car accident Friday night.
Brandi Johnson would have turned 23 in two weeks but now investigators are looking into what led to the accident that's killed her and crushed her family.
At the accident scene Saturday Johnson's family held onto eachother for support at the scene of an accident where their daughter, sister, friend and mother is killed.
The family is mourning 22 year old Brandi Johnson.
Johnson died on her way back from getting pizza for a family Halloween party .
"She called me at 7:25 pm from Bi-Lo and said, "Sissy they got a deal on two big pizzas do you want those?" I said yea, that's fine baby. She said, "okay, I love you see you in five minutes." Thirty minutes passed and she didn't come back," says Latasha Johnson.
That's because somewhere in that 30 minutes, the unimaginable happened.
Pieces of the crash littered the ground on the 700 block of Greenpond Road.
There, a few hundred feet from her mother's house, is where police found Johnson's SUV upside down off the street.
"I got there and her shoes were laying on the other side of the car," says Latasha Johnson.
Today, Brandi Johnson's friends found pieces of the crash at the scene.
"She's one of those loving people that you can't describe. She's unique. Got that thing about her that no one else can have again," says Johnson's friend Brandi Mills.
"She always helped people out if anyone was sad she would be there," says another friend, Lesley Caldwell.
Skid marks show where witnesses say Johnson got out of the car only to be hit by another car then dragged down the street.
Police are still trying to confirm whether another car was involved. In the meantime, the family is praying for strength and for answers.
"The guilty party needs to come forward and take responsibility for this. She's got two beautiful loving kids that needed her," says Donna McGuire, Johnson's Step-mother.
"Whoever did it needs to come forward so we can all have closure," says Latasha Johnson.
Now witnesses say the other vehicle they saw hit Johnson, immediately fled the scene.
Soddy Daisy Police still have not confirmed the other vehicle or said whether or not Johnson was wearing a seat belt.
