3 Die In Interstate Crash; Family Asking For Public's Help

WAUKESHA, WI — The family of three Waukesha residents who died in a Friday interstate crash in Minnesota is asking for the public's help to cover funeral expenses for their loved ones.

On Friday, Authorities say Sheila Eagle, 54, of Waukesha, was behind the wheel of a 2008 Ford Focus. Her passengers are listed as 29-year-old Tamara Lynn Eagle, 29, and Nyobee Richardson, 11, also of Waukesha, were passengers.

Authorities say they were driving on Interstate 90 near Eyota, Minnesota when they were struck by a vehicle that was heading in the opposite direction. The State Patrol is continuing to investigate the crash, in which six people lost their lives.

Family member Tyreace Brown Sr. said the Waukesha Police Department delivered the news to their family on Friday, and stayed with the grieving family for several hours.

"Waukesha PD Chaplain Tim Ryder who showed up within minutes of being called to offer comfort," Brown wrote. "Tim D of the Minnesota State Patrol who made sure that our calls didn’t go ignored."

Brown started a Go Fund Me campaign to help cover the cost of burying his family's loved ones.

"Six lives were taken in the blink of an eye like they were in a war zone. I just can’t believe they are all gone," he wrote. "I still can hear Sheila’s keys opening up the apartment door and the smell of her perfume. I can still hear Tamara’s and Nyobee’s voices asking if they can hang out and watch movies with Grandpa Ty. They never made it through a whole movie with me before falling asleep next to me, but I still enjoyed their company."
