Samantha's son was supposed to come into the world any day now. Her mother was at work when she got the news.
"Gail is grief striken beyond words. Inconsolible as you can imagine. This has turned her whole world upside down in an instant," said Sheston, who is Gail's supervisor.
FOX 10 is learning that Samantha was on her way to work as a dispatcher at HonorHealth when Phoenix Police Department officials say she was struck by the truck after Samantha allegedly ran a red light.
Sheston says right now, the accident is still under investigation.
"Samantha was a great mother, a tremendous figure in her daughter's life. We just have to rally around Allie right now."
Now loved ones are coming together, asking others to help them in any way they can.
"We established a Go Fund Me page. 100% will go to the family and Allie, so it's basically to cover funeral costs and expenses and Allie's future.. her education."
The family is still in talks about where Allie will live.
