Haley Taylor Obituary, Death: On Halloween night, October 31, 2024, a tragic multi-vehicle accident on North Central Expressway claimed the lives of 27-year-old Haley Taylor Richardson and her 6-year-old daughter. The accident occurred just before midnight, at 11:55 p.m., in the southbound HOV lane of the 3400 block of North Central Expressway in Richardson, Texas. The Richardson Police Department responded to the scene following an initial report of a stalled Cadillac SUV.
Before officers could arrive to assist, a southbound Lexus SUV, driven by Haley Taylor and occupied by her young daughter, collided with the back of the stationary Cadillac. Shortly after, a Dodge sedan traveling in the same direction struck the Lexus from behind, creating a chain reaction. At the time of these collisions, the driver and six passengers of the Cadillac had exited their vehicle, and one of the passengers, identified as 19-year-old Alyia Khalid, was fatally injured at the scene. The Cadillac’s driver and four other passengers sustained injuries requiring hospitalization, while one passenger was unharmed.
Haley Taylor and her daughter were rushed to the hospital immediately following the crash. Despite emergency efforts, both were tragically pronounced dead upon arrival. Their loss has left the community grieving as they mourn a mother and daughter whose lives were cut short in such a sudden and heartbreaking accident. The driver and passenger of the Dodge sedan sustained injuries, though they were not life-threatening. As the second crash involving the Dodge and Lexus unfolded, a nearby Nissan sedan was struck twice: first by the Dodge, and then by an 18-wheeler that was passing through the crash scene. Fortunately, the drivers of the Nissan and 18-wheeler were not injured. Two additional vehicles in the vicinity sustained damage from debris, but their occupants escaped without harm.
The Richardson Police Department’s Special Crash Investigation Team is conducting a thorough investigation to understand the sequence of events that led to this devastating incident.
