The Coast Radio Group in Gulfport, MS, is mourning the loss of one of its own. Liz Thornburg was in the station on Friday when a vehicle crashed into the building.
WLOX TV reported that the vehicle went through the intersection at around 80 miles per hour, running a red light and crashing into the building, killing Thornburg.
The station’s Facebook page posted:

We are devastated by this unimaginable loss. Liz was truly one of a kind, and her absence leaves a piece missing in our hearts and our halls. Please keep her family, friends, and our entire team in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate moving forward.
