    Keeley Whitcomb's 2 children dead, husband injured in crash

    A Nebraska social media influencer is grieving after two of her children died in a crash in rural Adams County earlier this week that also left her husband in the ICU.
    Keeley Whitcomb, of Hastings, announced the news on her TikTok account, where she regularly posts Disney-related content for her nearly 10,000 followers.
    The crash occurred about 4:45 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Saddlehorn Road and Riverview Avenue, according to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. An eastbound pickup driven by Whitcomb’s husband Blake Whitcomb, 33, of Hastings, collided with a northbound farm silage truck driven by Dale Feik, 66, of Harvard.
    The drivers were taken by ambulance to Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital in Hastings.
    Two of the couple’s children, Ryder, 7, and Laynee Rae, 10, who were traveling in the pickup, were pronounced dead at the scene.

    Blake Whitcomb was placed in the ICU, according to a post from Keeley Whitcomb, who is a travel agent for Dreams Travel Consulting.
    An accident reconstruction is being conducted by the Nebraska State Patrol. Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor.
    “To my friends who follow me: yesterday was the worst day of my life. An accident has taken my two children from me, and put my husband in the intensive care unit,” Whitcomb posted in a video on TikTok, where she has shared tributes to her children in recent days.
    “10 years was not enough for me,” Whitcomb said of her daughter.
    For Ryder, Whitcomb’s stepson, Keeley said “being a step-parent is a whole different kind of love.”
    “Though I didn’t know him all his life, I got to know him 3 years,” Whitcomb added.
