Nea Irby was hanging out with Noble and Lewis the day they were killed. Irby, who is close friends with Noble, was driving separately from the two. She drove pass the intersection of the crash minutes before the accident. When she went back, she saw the fiery collision.
'I just thought it was a tragic accident,' Irby said.
'If I would have known it was Lynette, I would have turned my car around and went back to stay right there until they put out the fire. It's been bothering me. I just have this vision in my head of this car on fire and to have found out that it was her is hard.'
At a vigil a few miles from the crash, Krystal Lewis, Nathesia's sister, told the Times that her sister left behind seven children.
'She loved unconditionally,' Krystal said at the vigil. 'It's devastating. Like, everybody feels bad because it was so unexpected. When I saw the crash, I didn't think that it was anybody I knew.'
