Melanie Hull’s mother, Diana Yates, said her daughter was a young mother with an entire joyous life ahead of her before a crash changed their lives.Hull’s son, Nolan, had just turned seven at the time of the crash.Hull was driving her son to day care on July 1, 2022, when her SUV was struck in Louisville.
Nolan undid his seatbelt to try to help his mom but had to remain in the vehicle until first responders cut its doors out.“Unable to speak for the most part other than ‘Yeah,’ or maybe ‘No’ once in a while, can’t do anything for herself,” she said. “We’re here to keep her legacy moving forward and helping other people not to have to go through what this family has had to go through,” Beshear said during the bill signing ceremony.
