Olivia Meggs, 32-Year-Old Titusville Mother of Three, Killed in Tragic Memorial Day Crash on I-95; Beloved Nurse Mourned as GoFundMe Launched to Support Family After Children Injured in Catastrophic Tire Blowout

What should have been a quiet, reflective Memorial Day became a nightmare for a Titusville family—and a day of shared mourning for an entire community—when 32-year-old Olivia Meggs was killed in a tragic crash on Interstate 95. The devoted mother of three and a beloved local nurse lost her life in a sudden and catastrophic accident that has now prompted an outpouring of grief and support from across Florida and beyond.

According to early reports, the fatal collision was triggered by a devastating tire blowout. The violent crash that followed left Olivia Meggs fatally injured and her children—who were with her at the time—hospitalized with varying degrees of injuries. The heartbreak is immeasurable. The crash claimed the life of a woman many knew as both a caregiver in her professional role and the soul of her family at home.

A GoFundMe campaign has since been launched to help support the Meggs family in the wake of this horrific tragedy, rallying the community to stand behind the young children now facing life without their mother.

A Tire Blowout That Shattered Lives

Florida Highway Patrol reported that Olivia Meggs was traveling with her children on I-95 when a tire on the vehicle blew out unexpectedly, causing the SUV to lose control and veer off the roadway. The vehicle overturned, ejecting Olivia Meggs from the car. She was pronounced dead at the scene. First responders arrived swiftly, but the force of the crash had already inflicted irreversible devastation.

Miraculously, her three children survived the crash but sustained injuries that required immediate medical attention. They were transported to a nearby hospital, where they are currently recovering. The extent of their injuries remains undisclosed, though family members have asked for prayers and privacy as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

Remembering Olivia Meggs: Nurse, Mother, Hero

Olivia Meggs wasn’t just a name on a tragic headline—she was a force of compassion in the lives of countless people.
