A Disney influencer was forced to live out her nightmare when a fatal car crash in Nebraska took the lives of her two children and left her husband in the ICU.
Keeley Whitcomb, a travel agent who shared Disney content on her social media accounts, took to TikTok on Tuesday to share the tragic news.
“To my friends who follow me: yesterday was the worst day of my life,” she wrote in the post. “An accident has taken my two children from me, and put my husband in the intensive care unit. Consider me out of the Disney office.”
On Monday, the Adams County Sheriff’s Department responded to a two-vehicle crash at an intersection on a rural road near Hastings — roughly 100 miles west of the state capital of Lincoln, local news outlet NTV News reported.
One of the vehicles, a pickup truck driven by the content creator’s husband Blake Whitcomb, 33, collided with a forage wagon — often used to transport crops — that was driven by 66-year-old Dale Feik, the outlet adds.
Both drivers were rushed to the nearby Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital for treatment. Officials said that alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the crash.
Keeley’s daughter Laynee Rae Keeley, 10, and Blake’s son Ryder, 7, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Hours after her initial social media post, the influencer returned to TikTok to share tributes to both children.
“10 years was not long enough for me,” she wrote in a heartfelt post about her late daughter. “Forever on my mind, my Laynee Rae. 9/15/2025.”

In another clip, Keeley paid tribute to her stepson, writing, “Once upon a time, I met a boy. I fell in love with him the moment I met him.”
“Though I didn’t know him all his life, I got to know him 3 years,” she went on. “Being a step-parent is a whole different kind of love. 9/15/2025.”
The 7-year-old’s grandmother, Cheryl Gardner, took to Facebook to share a tribute of her own following the tragic news.
“Yesterday, Heaven got a new angel,” she wrote. “Fly high Ryder and thank you for blessing me, if only for a short time. God has bigger plans for you my little buddy.”
