Melina Cheyenne Pruitt, Cailey Goad, Railyn Pruitt killed in car accident in Gordo Alabama.
9-year-old girl the sole survivor of Saturday crash that killed woman, 2 children in Pickens County
Three people are dead after a single-car accident Saturday afternoon, and State Troopers investigating the accident said Monday that a 9-year-old girl is the wreck's only survivor.
Investigators said 30-year-old Melina Cheyenne Pruitt was driving on Bostic Road near Gordo, Ala. when her 2002 Ford Explorer went out of control, left the roadway and struck a tree.
Pruitt was killed, as were 12-year-old Cailey Goad and Railyn Pruitt, who was 7.
The 9-year-old survivor was not identified, but a representative for the State Troopers said she was hospitalized at Children's of Alabama in Birmingham where her injuries were being treated.
The investigation is ongoing, but investigators said seat belts were not in use at the time of the accident, which happened at 4:35 Saturday afternoon.

This has left hearts broken
This has left hearts broken and minds in disbelieve . Melina had a stepfather Jimmy Lawson who loved and cared for her all of her life that she was able to remember.And an estranged Family. Melina had a husband and two daughters , thousands of friends that became her family over the years, her good friend Margret who stepped in as a mother over the years when Melina needed a mothers help, Margret was just a phone call away. I her Grandmother lived in California, some 2800 miles away. Thank you Jimmy and Margret. Melina was loved by so mane wonderful friends I was amazed at the sight of so many people. Cailey and Raylin were building a family of friends that was as great as the one of there mother . so many friends came to say good- by to these three beautiful girls , beautiful in sprite and looks.
