Her's Memorial — Fans of the band created a memorial at the site by leaving behind flowers and homemade signs.

Her's was a popular, two-man indie rock band from Liverpool, England. The duo consisted of Stephen Fitzpatrick (24) and Audun Laading (25).

In March 2019, they flew to the United States to promote their debut album, "Invitation To Her's."

On March 26th, 2019, the band performed at the Rebel Lounge in Phoenix, Arizona. Following the gig, they left in a van that was being driven by their tour manager, Trevor Engelbrektson.

Their next stop was Santa Ana, California, where they were scheduled to perform the following day.

Santa Ana was a long, six-hour drive away. Consequently, they decided to make up some ground by traveling overnight.

At around 1 a.m. on March 27th, they were driving westbound along this section of the I-10 when they were struck by a Nissan pickup truck that was traveling in the wrong direction.

The high-speed, head-on collision caused both vehicles to burst into flames.

Her's crash — The two vehicles were completely gutted by the ensuing fire.

Fitzpatrick, Laading, and Engelbrektson were all killed by the impact and ensuing fire. The driver of the other vehicle, Francisco Rebollar (64), also died.

Stephen Fitzpatrick Audun Laading — Fitzpatrick and Laading were promoting their debut album by touring across the United States. Engelbrektson (right) was a musician, husband, and father of two from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Although it is unknown why Rebollar was driving in the wrong direction, the police stated that they found alcohol among the wreckage. Members of the public had also called 911 to report that a Nissan pickup truck was traveling eastbound in the westbound lane.

Rebollar inexplicably drove for four miles in the wrong direction before the collision occurred.

Engelbrektson was driving along a dark, rural highway that had a 75 mph (120 km) speed limit. The darkness, the presence of other vehicles, the oncoming headlights in the eastbound carriageway, and the unexpected nature of such an event would have made it difficult for him to react in time.

To complicate matters, swerving to avoid a wrong-way driver can lead to a head-on collision, as they will often attempt to divert their course at the exact same moment.
