The white van in which they were traveling with their two children was struck head-on by a black minivan at Flat Shoals Road and Harper Valley Drive. The black minivan was reportedly driving erratically before the accident. The impact caused the Walker van, which Glen was driving, to flip.

Their children Alana, 6, and Cameron, 2, were taken to Egleston after the accident and were released. They are presently being cared for family members. The community has been donating money, gift cards and necessary items for the children’s care. There is still a need for funds to cover child care for the youngest child. Sandra Walker's uncle Jim Meeker, who lives in Duluth, is coordinating donations. He may be reached at 770-833-4394.
