After a wrong-way crash killed their loved one, a family is opening up about their grief and how they will continue to live without her.

Houston police said Sarah Gay was intoxicated when she drove northbound in the southbound lanes of the I-45 North Freeway near the White Oak exit and hit two cars. Houseley and Griffin were in the same car, and the other driver involved wasn't seriously hurt.

Gay, who was 26 years old at the time of the crash, was charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter.

She was sentenced to 10 years in prison this week for both counts. The sentences will be served concurrently.
