FORT WORTH<\/strong> – Spencer Elliott and his 12-year-old daughter are still recovering at Fort Worth hospital.<\/p>\n

Elliott has had multiple surgeries. His daughter suffered a broken arm.\u00a0Both continue to be surrounded by family.<\/p>\n

Flowers were left behind at the crash site along with debris and spray paint. All marking where Fort Worth police say a wrong-way crash caused by a suspected drunk driver shattered the Elliott family forever.<\/p>\n

Investigators say just after midnight on Sunday, a Dodge Ram traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of Boat Club Road hit the Elliot family’s Ford Expedition head on.<\/p>\n

Spencer Elliott and his 12-year-old daughter, Allie, were rushed to the hospital. Spencer’s wife, Brytni Elliott, died on scene.<\/p>\n

Local perspective:<\/p>\n

John Nelson and Spencer Elliott coach for the North Texas Knights baseball club. Both of their families were together late on Saturday evening at a tournament in Mansfield as the games were running late.<\/p>\n

“She was at all the games. She was at all the practices,” said Nelson.<\/p>\n

“We all left, coming home in the same direction. We stopped because my son needed something to eat. And that is the last. I didn’t hear anything until the next morning.”<\/p>\n

Monday evening, hundreds attended a vigil at the Keller ISD’s football stadium. A place friends and colleagues could mourn together.<\/p>\n

Spencer Elliot coached football and baseball at Keller high school and this season he was set to also help coach softball.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“It warms your heart knowing that people realize how much he does for the community,” said Nelson.<\/p>\n

“Even just praying for the Elliott family would help out.”<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

The driver of the dodge ram, the suspect, was injured in the crash as well and hasn’t been arrested yet due to his injuries.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth police haven’t released the driver’s name, but say he’s under investigation on suspicion of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault.<\/p>\n
