A newlywed’s life was shattered when her husband and 1-year-old daughter were killed in a fiery head-on car crash while returning from their honeymoon.

“Macey, Hunter and Oakleigh were in a horrific car accident yesterday on their way home from their honeymoon in Pigeon Forge,” wrote Leigh Ann Payne-Weisser, Macey’s mother, in a Facebook post.

She added that her daughter was taken to the burn unit at the University of Louisville Hospital to be treated for her injuries.

“Hunter and Oakleigh are now with our Lord and Savior. Please keep Macey and our families lifted in prayer,” she wrote.

The couple’s 1-year-old daughter was remembered as having a smile “like a ray of sunshine” that reflected her “sassy personality.”

Friends and family have launched several fundraisers to help Macey with expenses.

Police said Joseph Maynard, 48, of Owensboro, the driver of the F-150, also died at the scene.
