SC police sergeant & now-single mom need aid to recover from brutal car crash. Here’s how to help
The officer critically injured in a collision in Spartanburg County Friday is said to be showing signs of improvement.
Greenville Police Sgt. Diana Munoz was airlifted from the scene on Highway 101 after her wife, Sgt. Ashley Munoz, and parents Arturo Leon Munoz, 64, and Maria Del Rosario Munoz, 62 died in the head-on collision.
Max and Deborah Wyatt, the occupants of the other car, died in the crash as well.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol has not released any information other than the two vehicles were traveling on Highway 101 around 12:45 a.m. Friday. The Wyatt 2025 Ford SUV was going north, the Munoz 2016 Toyota SUV was going south.
Ashley Munoz was an 11-year veteran of the Greenville Police Department and supervised Criminal Investigations Units, including Property Crimes, Financial Crimes and Family Crimes.
Diana Munoz is a 12-year veteran and serves as Greenville Police Public Information Officer, the first Latina to hold that role within the agency.
They were married in 2018, records show, and have two young children.
They were returning home from vacation when the crash happened, the Police Department announced.
A fund has been set up by The Greenville Police Foundation.
“Diana is now a single mom of two children, and every donation received through the end of this month will go directly to her through the Greenville Police Foundation,” the website says.
The total raised so far is not reported on the website.
The Munoz family also has a gofundme account, set up by Diana Munoz cousin.
“Our family is heartbroken, and we are doing everything we can to support her during this incredibly challenging time,” Diana Tabares said.
She said the money would be used for “medical bills, therapy, living expenses, funeral costs, and any unforeseen costs that may arise as she works to rebuild her life.”
“With so much taken from her in an instant, we want to ensure she has the resources and support she needs to heal physically and emotionally,” Tabares said.
As of Monday evening, slightly more than $80,000 of a $100,000 goal had been raised.
The Greenville City Firefighters Association donated $2,000 and said, “There are no words that can ease the pain of losing your loved ones, but please know that you are not facing this alone. Your brothers and sisters in public safety stand beside you, lifting you up in prayer and surrounding you with love and support during this incredibly difficult time. You have dedicated your life to protecting and serving others. Now it is our turn to stand watch over you. We are praying for your strength, your healing, and for peace to carry you through the days ahead.”
