CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Crailynn Christie was full of life and love. Her young life was cut short this weekend.
Christie, 23, was killed after she left a concert in Richmond.
“If she loved you, she loved you,” Crailynn’s cousin and next-of-kin Britney Walker shared. “That was a beautiful thing.”
Crailynn was in Richmond on Friday night doing what she loved — singing and dancing with friends at the National.
At the end of the night, her boyfriend Kweli picked her up to drive her back home to Petersburg, Virginia.
“He stuck with her through the ups and downs. He showed her the true definition of unconditional love,” Walker said of the relationship. “She was well-loved by him.”
Provided to WTVR Walker said Crailynn wasn’t feeling great on the ride home.
Kweli pulled over along the shoulder of Interstate 95 in Chesterfield County.
That’s where it happened.
“A 2010 Mercury Milan had stopped on the right shoulder of southbound Interstate 95, near the exit for Route 288, when it was struck by a 1994 Honda Civic, which had gone off the right side of the road,” a Virginia State Police spokesperson wrote in an email about the crash that killed Crailynn Christie.
