Katherine Williams-Dunning, the daughter of country music legend Hank Williams Jr., has died at the age of 27.
Katherine died in a car crash in Tennessee over the weekend, authorities have confirmed.
Officials told CBS News that Katherine, who ran her own clothing business, was driving a vehicle which was towing a boat when it rolled across multiple lanes of traffic.
Katherine was in the car with her husband, Tyler Dunning, who was flown to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. The extent of his injuries are not known.
Her sister, Holly Audrey Williams, posted an emotional tribute on Instagram.
Sharing a family photograph taken last Friday, she wrote: “I talked the family into taking this picture and had no idea it would be our last together with my precious little sister Katie.
“We all went to my great aunts funeral on Thursday whom we all loved dearly, and now are faced with another one. ALL we need is prayers. My daddy. My little brother. Katie’s husband (he is awake and responding don’t know injury extent yet). My niece and nephew. Her Mama. The Dunning family. All of us.
“So. Many. Prayers. Jesus is close. Thank you all.”
Katherine and Tyler married in 2015 and have two children together, aged five and two.
