Tragic Drunk-Driving Crash Claims Lives of Two Best Friends
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Natalie White, 24, and Holly Wagner, 25, lost their lives in a tragic drunk-driving accident in Nashville. The two young women, who met at Fisk University and graduated together in 2021, were struck by a Jeep at the intersection of Gallatin Road and Cude Lane. The driver of the Jeep, Giovvanni Bolstad, was intoxicated and ran a red light, causing the fatal collision.
Heartbreaking Loss and Grieving Families
For the families of Natalie White and Holly Wagner, the pain of losing their loved ones is incomprehensible. White’s parents, who used to drive from Flossmoor to Nashville to visit their daughter, are now left with an emptiness that can never be filled. Mark White, Natalie’s father, tearfully expressed the devastation of never seeing his child again, while Crystal West, her mother, spoke of the quiet and emptiness that now lingers in their home without Natalie’s presence.
White’s tragic passing on her father’s birthday adds an extra layer of sorrow to an already devastating situation. The last words Mark White spoke to his daughter were “I love you,” a memory that now brings both comfort and unbearable pain.
Justice and Closure for the Families
Giovvanni Bolstad, the driver responsible for the fatal crash, is facing multiple charges, including intoxication homicide and vehicular assault. His reckless actions not only took the lives of two young women but also revealed a history of DUI convictions and a suspended driver’s license. As the legal proceedings unfold, the families of Natalie White and Holly Wagner hope to find a sense of justice and closure for the senseless loss they have endured.
Memorial services held at Fisk University have provided an opportunity for friends and loved ones to honor the memory of the victims and grieve together. As the community comes together to mourn the tragic loss of two bright young souls, the hope for healing and support remains strong.
