PHOENIX — The trip was supposed to be a happy one.
Scott and Tiffini Cunningham were in Arizona with their three kids to see where their eldest son may be playing baseball next year at a local college.
While driving on Cactus Road near 40th Street, the family’s SUV collided with a sedan before careening into a signal light pole.
Tiffini would die from her injuries, while her husband suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Thankfully all three children are out of the hospital and will survive.
"Each day is a battle right now," Brant Troutman, Tiffani's brother, said.
Faith and family define Scott and Tiffini Cunningham. The two met in ninth grade and had three kids Cade, Carly, and Leila.
“She’s a firecracker,” Troutman said “Independent, fiercely loyal.”
The family said Scott is getting round-the-clock care and the family is hoping he will recover.
Back near the Cunninghams' home in Texas, friends, and family held a vigil to pray and hope for a miraculous recovery.
Friends of Tiffini and Scott are collecting donations to help with expenses. If you would like to help you can go to Fundraiser by Kristin Demotta : Cunningham and Troutman (gofundme.com)
