Jaiah Kearney Obituary, Death – The accident, which took place in Vance County on Wednesday just before midnight, claimed the lives of two sisters who lived in the city of Henderson. The sisters were killed when the vehicle they were traveling in was involved in a collision with a single vehicle. Jaiah Kearney, who was 19 years old at the time of the incident, was identified as the passenger in the vehicle by the State Highway Patrol, which was able to identify her thanks to the information she provided. Zikera Kearney, who was only 17 years old at the time, was found to be the driver of the vehicle after it was investigated.
The aunt of the two people who were killed in the attack stated that the family is grieving privately and that they are not yet ready to discuss the tragedy in public. The aunt added that the two people who were killed in the attack were her nephew and niece. The alumni community of Henderson Collegiate Charter School was given the tragic news that Jaiah, who had been on track to graduate from the school in 2021, and her sister, Zikera, who was a junior at the school, had been killed in a car accident. Jaiah had been on track to graduate in the same year as her sister. Jaiah was a passenger in the automobile when it happened.
This news has left us in utter disbelief and devastation. We are keeping their family in our thoughts and prayers, as well as those of all of our students, families, and staff members, as well as the rest of the community. In a message that was published on Facebook, the organization conveyed how it felt about the situation. The message stated, “We are crushed by this heartbreaking news.” The Vance County Public Schools are making arrangements to have additional grief counselors available in order to better assist the community as it works through the effects of the recent tragedy. The message also stated that “We are crushed by this heartbreaking news.”
It is believed that Zikera was driving east on Business 158 near Ruin Creek Road when he crossed the center line to the left and then overcorrected after making the error. The car drove off the road, hit two trees, and ultimately came to a stop on its roof after coming to a halt on top of them both. The authorities believe that one of the contributing factors was the high rate of speed that was being traveled at. At this point, it is not possible to say for certain whether or not the incident was caused by alcohol or drugs as well. Both of these factors could have played a role. The aunt mentioned that the family intends to someday organize a memorial service in their honor in the future so that they can continue to remember the two sisters who had passed away before she.
