Reality TV star Ashley “Minnie” Ross has died after a hit-and-run car crash, her management confirmed early Tuesday. She was 34.
The “Little Women: Atlanta” star was rushed to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital on Sunday night after a smash-up with another car near Old National Highway in Atlanta, her publicist told People magazine.
She died at 10:30 p.m. Monday, almost 24 hours after the crash.
“It is with profound sadness that we confirm on behalf of the family of Ashley Ross aka ‘Ms Minnie’ of Little Women Atlanta has succumbed to injuries from a tragic hit and run car accident today at the age of 34,” her management team confirmed on the star’s Instagram.
“The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
Her publicist told Newsweek that eyewitnesses told police that the driver of the vehicle that hit Ross’ car and caused the accident fled from the scene. No further information about the crash was immediately available.
Originally from Tennessee, Ross was hailed as “the most beautiful, kind, giving, generous human ever” by a rep for her reality show.
“She was adored by cast and crew because she always wore her heart on her sleeve,” the rep told People. “There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for those she loved.”
Ross’s longtime costar Amanda Salinas also shared the news early Tuesday, saying she was in tears writing the post.
“Why did they take you away from us !!!! WHY!!!!!” she asked alongside a series of photos of them together.
“You were more than our best friend you were our big sister and still is !!!” she wrote. “I love you so much !!!! My heart is broken 😭💔 Rest In Peace my love.”
Ross is survived by her mother, Tammie Jackson, her aunt and uncle, Veronica and John Deloney, and grandmother Rose Deloney, as well as a host of other family members, Newsweek said.
