DOTHAN, AL (WTXL) - A Tallahassee woman is dead after a car crash outside of Dothan, Alabama. Authorities say she was not wearing a seat belt.

According to Alabama State Troopers, Ray Catherine Pinkney was killed Tuesday in a single-vehicle crash.

Pinkney was the passenger in a 2000 Ford Explorer when troopers say the vehicle left the roadway and flipped.

She was taken to Southeast Alabama Medical Center in Dothan where troopers say she was pronounced dead.

The driver, Lucretia Westfield, was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Authorities say they are continuing to investigate the crash.

Meanwhile, Seneca Lindsey, a relative of Pinkney, remains in shock, telling WTXL she had a happy personality and will be missed: "She was a loving person, a giving person, and I can just remember her smile. Everytime you would see her, she would be smiling and she always had fun things to say. So in her memory, we're going to miss that beautiful smile."

The family says they are not financially prepared to deal with the possibility of two funerals at the same time. You can help them by clicking here.
