She was traveling from Missouri or Mississippi to California, her birth name was Kimberly Simmons.
I’m sorry to hear that you lost a friend.
I was unable to find anything with the info you’ve provided, but hopefully you can do better…
1) You need to know the current name, as it will be very difficult to locate her with her birth name (if it has changed).
Also try to find out where the accident occurred. There is a lot of distance between the midwest (or the south) and California. Do you know her home town, and her age?
(I found several accidents regarding a Kimberly Simmons, but I don’t think they have anything to do with your friend – one was a 24 yr old, another 40 yrs old, and both accidents were several years ago.)
The more of this info you know, the better the chances you will find something on the Internet.
2) Here are some tips that have helped me locate such information.
a) If you can find the name of the county or the town, do searches with the name of the town, using
+accident + kimberly+ "name of town"
b) If you cannot find anything that way, look for local newspapers or TV stations:
+"name of town" +newspaper
+"name of town" +media
+"name of town" +TV stations
Then when you find the paper or the TV station, do searches on their site (especially in "archives") to see if you can find articles about your friend.
c) Look for obituaries – these would be in your friend’s hometown paper, but they will not appear until about 3-7 days after the death. These may actually show the birth name, so you may have to keep searching for a week or more.
Good luck to you.
