According to police, Charland's passengers included 37-year-old Robert Thomas Jr., as well as two minors.

"If you can, help. Help the girls. It's not even, you know, for money, it's just for, you know, just to help them. They need the help more than anybody. They just lost their two people who love them the most," said Robert Thomas, brother of Robert Thomas Jr. and the girls' uncle.

The crash remains under investigation.

Editor's note: The Fulton County Sheriff had originally stated that Robert Thomas Jr. was the driver of the Chrysler and Cara Charland was the passenger.

On Sunday evening, the sheriff's revised their statement saying it is believed that Cara Charland was driving and Thomas was a passenger.


The sheriff's office also originally said the other driver was named Alan Glass, not Adon.
