Mother of three in Conway, Arkansas dies after suffering brain aneurysm while driving

People reports that Tylena Wright, a mother of three from Conway, Arkansas, died after suffering a brain aneurysm while driving in December; she lost consciousness on Monday, Dec. 29 while "moving into oncoming traffic," according to KARK.com and a GoFundMe page created by her son.

Her 19-year-old son, Xavier Wright, told KARK.com in an interview published Jan. 12 that clinicians said there was "too much brain bleeding" and that "after that, the next day, we had to pull the plug on her." Xavier described his mother on the GoFundMe page as "a truly caring and beautiful soul, always smiling and bringing joy to everyone around her" and "more than a mother — she was our best friend and the heart of our family." His sisters include a 22-year-old daughter who has not been named and 16-year-old Aariah, who told KARK.com, "I would love to stay here as long as I can. So, you can just feel like she’s here with you. Whenever she’s not."

Xavier, who is currently in college, said he feels pressure to care for his siblings while trying to maintain their routine, and the GoFundMe has raised $18,705 toward a $22,000 goal to cover living expenses. The outlet contacted Xavier for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
