Dad Learns Both of His Teen Daughters Were Killed in a Car Accident by Tracking Their Cell Phones

A New York father’s worst fears were realized when he learned that both of his daughters had tragically died in a car accident thanks to the help of his cell phone tracking app.
Brian Trumble, the father of 19-year-old Hailey and 17-year-old Shelby, had been trying to reach his daughters on the evening of August 1, only to be met with silence. Growing increasingly concerned, he decided to track their location using the Find My Friends app, never imagining the heartbreak that awaited him.

The accident occurred in the small town of Ira, where Hailey and Shelby were traveling eastbound on Ira Hill Road in their Chevy Cobalt. According to a news release from the Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office, the sisters’ vehicle crested a hill near the intersection of Farnam Road, veered into the opposite lane, and collided with an oncoming 2016 Jeep Cherokee driven by 59-year-old Robin Latham. Latham survived the crash but sustained serious injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Sadly, both Hailey and Shelby Trumble did not survive the accident. The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, with authorities yet to determine what caused the sisters’ vehicle to cross into oncoming traffic.

As Brian anxiously tracked his daughters’ location, he was led to the crash site, where the reality of the situation became clear. Speaking to Syracuse.com, Brian expressed the depth of his loss, saying, “It’s a tremendous loss. It’s never going to be the same again.”

A Fundraiser for the Family

The Trumble family’s grief has been met with an outpouring of support from their community and beyond. A GoFundMe was created to assist the family with funeral expenses and other unforeseen costs, as there was no life insurance to cover the tragic loss. Karrie Wallace, who organized the fundraiser on behalf of Brian and his son Riley, wrote, “This GoFundMe is for funeral expenses and unforeseen medical bills… allowing them to focus on healing without the added burden of financial stress.” The fundraiser has garnered nearly $50,000 since it was first launched.

The response to the fundraiser has been filled with messages of sympathy and kindness. One donor wrote, “My heart aches for your family as you navigate this unimaginable loss. Though we are strangers, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.” Another shared, “Just read an article about how the girls could make others’ and each other laugh. Pond fishing and other beautiful adventures. RIP.”

The Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the incident, with multiple agencies assisting at the scene. Authorities have asked anyone with information regarding the crash to contact Detective Lieutenant Rob Franklin.

As the investigation continues, the Trumble family is left to cope with an unimaginable loss. Hailey and Shelby were more than just daughters; they were beloved sisters, friends, and bright spirits who brought joy to those around them. The loss of these two young lives has left a void that can never be filled, and the community mourns alongside the Trumble family during this difficult time.
