The sister of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was killed in a car accident Saturday in Arizona.

Pima County sheriff’s spokesman Ryan Inglett said Ann Day, 77, suffered fatal injuries after her vehicle was struck by two other cars near Tucson. Day was a former Arizona Republican state senator and Pima County supervisor.

Day was driving eastbound on Ina Road around 7:40 a.m. when an oncoming car crossed the median. Day’s vehicle was struck head-on, Inglett said. A truck traveling behind Day then rear-ended her. She was alone in the vehicle.

Paramedics transported Day to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The other two drivers, both male, were hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Inglett said the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner will determine the official cause of death.

I am sure you cherish that event.

I cherish it greatly; it was the last time my grandma could travel before her downward spiral, she was about 101 at the time.

Any opportunity to let her hold my daughter, I took it.

I must admit it was odd holding a bay and yet having 11 armed men ready to draw down on me, all focused on me like a laser. I figured it was an admin error putting us hoi polloi so close to the VIP table.
